[edit] B. rotundifolia

Why is B. rotundifolia the species pictured if it isn't a species of Bacopa? Does it need to be listed. Elsewhere, I've seen B. rotundifolia listed as "water hyssop". Are more than one species considered "water hyssop" or is the water hyssop species name out of date? I've also seen Bacopa listed as a Scrophulariaceae genus. It certainly seems like more of a big juicy plantaginaceae genus to me, and that's how it's listed on this page, but I wanted to make sure that was accurate.

I've seen B. innominata listed as "water hyssop" too. Which one of these plants is the brain-boosting herb of legend and who are the pretenders?

Now I see Bacopa listed as a Veronicaceae genus, which I'm almost certain is wrong. It certainly SEEMS like it should be in Plantaginaceae.
