Myriophyllum heterophyllum was not in the Flora of Maine as printed in 1998. It was, however, included in the 2000 and 2001 addenda, albeit without a common name given. See the Woodlot Alternatives web site (http://www.woodlotalt.com) for a .pdf download of the 2001 version. I will add a question to the discussion. I have seen a lot about transporting invasive exotic aquatics from one body of water to another by boat, but I haven't heard anything about aircraft. Are they, perhaps, not a problem for one reason or another? Tom Thomas F. Vining (207) 266-5748 = (207) BOOKS-4-U http://www.vfthomas.com V. F. Thomas Co. P. O.
