Bacopa mollinierii

[willbe]

A couple of questions.

Has anyone heard of this native Bacopa?

Does any one know if its active in the same or similar way as B.monniera?

Im guessing theres no research done on this species...

I tasted some of the leaves of the mollinierii and it is MUCH more bitter than monniera.

Which leads me to my last question;

Does anyone know if there are poisonous species of bacopa?

Any thoughts?

hey i've got that one! i didnt know it was native. Maybe it's one of those pan-global plants that are native to many places. wonder if it's worth selling? i have about 30 tubes of it.

actually anything's worth selling, gotta get onto this ;)

I'd buy one. I'm saving money to finally make a guruna order.

Bacopa mollinierii doesn't exist.

Bacopa mollinierii doesn't exist.

and B. monniera is the Brahmi "memory herb" you see at many nurseries.

maybe like Abrus precatorius, might occur in areas of tropical Australia as well as SE Asia, India etc..

i looked all over and the only thing i could find with spelling even close to that was a marine vegetation site. it had the same mollinierii but it was not a bacopa..

"Bacopa mollinierii"

sounds like something my crazy tafe teacher would insist on

[willbe]

Yeah im not sure then.....As ajna mentioned, its one of our horticulture TAFE teachers that insisted it was mollinierii !!!

Im not sure what species it is then... All i know is it looks like monniera but tastes MUCH more bitter.....

I wonder if i should bioassay...

Hmmm......... -_-
