[AGA Member] Please suggest North American native plants

[Richard Schiek <rschiek@pobox.com>]

Hello All,

I've been reading "North American Native Fishes For The Home Aquarium" 
by David Schleser and  Steven Pituch's "Enjoying the Local Biotope" 
article in the January TAG.  These inspiring works have encouraged me 
to try setting up an aquarium of native plants and fish.  Based on 
these sources, I believe the following plants are native to North 
America (sorry, but this book doesn't list scientific names)

Foxtail
Cabomba
Ludwigia
Bacopa
Water Loosestrife
Eichhornia crassipes
Pistia stratiotes
Echinodorus sp.
Sagittaria sp.
Utricularia (bladderwort)

Can anyone suggest other North American native plants and/or suggest 
specific species that are easy to find.  Unlike Steven Pituch, I live 
in a pretty dry desert, so collecting locally may not be a great option 
(but I'll try)

Thanks for your help,

Rich
