No - the few plants growing in the wild that I've seen have either been 
completely submerged (as you have described) or half-in/half-out at the
edges of pools.  Admittedly these have all been D. spathulata or D. pygmae
in the eastern states of Australia where we don't have a great variety 
of species... :-(
Is Allen still at his old address - sounds like it's time to investigate
his plant/seed list again. ;-)
