Is there any native Myriophyllum species?

All I can find info on is parrot feather from the amazon and eurasian water milfoil.

If anyone has some they could send my way PM me please. I would like to get some established in one of my tanks.

Most of the areas here where I would go look for it are frozen over :(

There are a number:

M. alternifolium
M. farwelii
M. heterophyllum
M. hippuroides
M. humile
M. laxum
M. pinnatum
M. quitense
M. sibericum
M. tenellum
M. ussuriense
M. verticillatum


(some of these were listed above)

Some of these species are very rare, however.

Thank you native planter, you grow any of these?
If so, how well do they do?

I used to have a M. heterophyllum , but not currently. I lost most of my plants when I moved last February (the bucket got left outside overnight and froze), and have been slowly re-collecting ever since.

But, I remember that it grew just fine.
