Supposedly, according to claimers on line regarding the Hygrophila genus, this plant has been "illegal" for a number of years now here in the US.

What's up with that? Are their any exceptions which would allow me to purchase the stuff?

I know it's classified as a noxious weed in most states and considered Class A noxious weed in some states like Texas. It's illegal to dump into waterways or to have growing on property you own in some states, (you will be forced to clean it out of your pond or fined, for example).

But I have not heard it's illegal to own or purchase for home aquarium use? Could you give us some links?
