syngonathus mikado (ikea)
 

I have just purchased this little plant from Ikea and intrigued, I searched for it and found others also mystified.I have so far discovered it is actually a pipewort ,a member of the Eriocaulaceae: rushlike aquatic or marginal perennials usually found in shallow waters of acid lakes and pools and bogs.
Does anyone have any further information on the origin of this plant?
