According to the arizona aquatic gardens website, several common aquatic
plants were recently banned:

ATTN: THE U.S.D.A.  HAS ISSUED THIS PLANT TO BE A NOXIOUS WEED AND IS NO
LONGER SHIPPABLE INTO ANY STATE FROM ANYWHERE FROM ANY SUPPLIER LEGALLY. 

Asian Ambulia (Limnophilia sessiliflora) 
Hygrophila, Green  (Hygrophila polysperma)
Hygrophila, Tropic Sunset (Hygrophila rosanervis)

I am curious if it's legal to trade this inside state borders?
