Re: Psued has been banned

Well, if a non-native species is judged to be a threat, I can only be happy 
to hear that it has been banned in that region.  I'd much rather support 
the native indigenous species than an aggressive outsider.

Not being able to observe the actual situation in NH, I can only rely on my 
own recent experience in that local bog.  It made me sad to see so much 
pseudacorus growing there, and so little brevicaulis.  I expect that the 
park district will eventually take measures to eliminate (or at least 
reduce) it from the bog.  I'd love for them to replace it with brevicaulis, 
versicolor or virginica.
