    Hi Roger,

    I am a bit confused: Brasilia obtusiformis (as in the title) or Ludwigia obtusiformis (as listed under "Species") .

    Thanks

    Thomas

    @oilshale Thanks for the heads up. My mistake. I must have been half asleep as I posted this one. Ludwigia is correct and I'll fix that in a minute.

    Thanks. I'd love to get to the Isle of Skye myself someday, but it's good to have a colleague like Byron who can get his hands on these things.
