On a whim I just opened Baensch and found some of the info I was looking for - Micranthemum micranthemoides is a synonym for Hemianthus micanthemoides. They mention it is from Cuba and the southeasten U.S., and is also called `Pearlweed'. Is this stuff commonly available in other places in the U.S.? -- Dan Resler Dept. of Mathematical Sciences Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, VA 23284-2014 USA email: resler at liberty_mas.vcu.edu
