Just browsing ebay for some floating plants and stumbled across this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0560834549
To me, that is a bowl full of duckweed with several frogbit plants, not "200+" plants as the seller describes. I sent them a polite message saying as such -
Just got this back from them:
I'm sorry, but that's flippin' duckweed :!:

Just for your info, what you're showing in the photos is mostly common duckweed (Lemna minor), not Amazon frogbit (Limnobium laevigatum). Looks to be a few frogbit plants in the portion you are advertising, not 200+.
Duckweed can look very nice, but also be an absolute pain to get rid of once introduced.
Just thought you should know. Cheers, Steve.

i think you will find it is frogbit as it came from my frogbit plants. duckweed is a completely different plant and a problem plant. i have no duckweed in my tank as i grew this from frogbit. thanks for your interest but not needed. would you like to buy some then?
I'm sorry, but that's flippin' duckweed :!:
