(Courtesy of Dirk van der Made) | The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department added several aquatic plants for review for possible inclusion on the 'white list' after Rolf Nelson of Nelson Water Gardens & Nursery in Katy, Texas, submitted a list in March after reviewing the department’s initial list. Chief among his suggestions was including Nymphaea as a genus and not consider it species by species, noting that “without question this is the most important group of plants economically to anyone in the water gardening trade at any level.”
Nelson’s other suggestions were:
Acorus gramineus
Acrostichum danaefolium
Alocasia amazonica
Bacopa caroliniana
Bacopa monniera
Bletilla striata
Cabomba caroliniana
Colocasia illustris
Crinum procerum
Cyperus haspans/C isocladus
Iris ensata
Ludwigia sedioides
Nymphoides hydrocharioides
Phalaris arundinacea
Victoria cruziana
Victoria regia
Zephyranthes grandiflora
