Could the fine leaf species be Camboba (sp?). or a 
myriophyllum type? Wow, 15 species is pretty
impressive for one watershed in NC in Feb.

Aside from L repens, I am also a little surprised that
you did not find any Bacopa carolinia in it's namesake
state.

Collecting plants ...and fish is one of my favorite
aquarium related activities. I love to through a sprig
of "some unidentified" aquatic plant into one of my
tanks to see what it turns into too.

I make a point of doing this when ever I am near water
that has any plants I can't identify.


Regards,
Larry
