Dufflights post on plants in water and the mention of Kangkong spinach got me thinking about a type of spinach I had in the mountains of Fiji. It looked like a taro leaf, was called spinach as was really tasty. A quick google has told me it is also called rou-rou.

Does anybody know exactly what plant it is from and where you can get it from in Australia?
