Default Bacopa myriophylloides

I grabbed some of this stuff from Harold at The Menagerie in Toronto. He's
been trying for years to get it and each time the border guys see the word
"myriophylloides" on the packing slip and refuse it entry as a weed because
they think that's the genus - which is pretty much banned - and overlook
the obvious that it's a species of Bacopa from Brazil, apparantly
the brazilian form of B. carolina whcih we're used to as aquarists. In the
few days I've had it it seems to grow like the less exotic forms of
Bacopa, that is, well. Here's a few pics of it in my tank.
