(plant and fish, then foreground accent)
The more I look into it, the more I think that plant isn't an Eriocaulon. It doesn't look all that much like one, and none of the herbarium specimens I've seen look anything like it. Flowering it would settle the issue quickly and decisively, so I may acquire one for that purpose. Anybody growing it now is invited to do the same.
Also note that Rotala sp. 'Goias' is listed as a form of R. mexicana, which I've suspected for a while. That doesn't constitute proof, of course, so that's a key one to flower as well.
