Identification of plant (Identified! TY)

Not the Anacharis but the thick stemmed one.


I recieved this "random bonus plant" with an order i placed on ebay and I would like to know what it is so I can do some research on it.


I looked around for a while and suspect its a Bacopa sp. of some sort but im still unsure.


What is it?

I have that plant, or something very similar. I got it and forgot to keep the info card or write down the name. I got it narrowed down to bacopa caroliniana (water hyssop) as the plant species available at the store I got it from is very limited and that was the only one that looked like my plant. I was looking for more of the same from another store and they had a similar plant with much bigger leaves than mine has. My leaves are 1 to 1.5cm long.

Thank you, I feel pretty confident thats what it is.


After doing some research on this plant i learned that when it is cut or crushed it emits a minty lemon smell.

I tested this on a stem i cut off when planting and it definitely has this odor.
