Picture in your head the silouhette of a single clump of hairgrass ( http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/myPlants.php?do=view&p=66 ) now, imagine the leaves about only half as thick, and branching off as they grow.
Y'know, the more I talk about this and the more I plan to go and buy it after work, the more I figure it'll be sold out when I get there!

How tall does it go before it starts to branch off. Do the branched stems keep branching or just branches off once.

Yup, and I couldn't find it. I sure hope I'm not setting myself up to look like a dope...like it turns out to be a stretched out, dirty java moss or something!!
That e. vivipara looks like close, but I'm not positive. Here's a cell phone shot I took of it in the store. It's not great but it'll give you an idea. I did buy it anyway, it's actually over a foot long! I'll take good shots when I get home later tonight. The dark spots which I first thought were snails are forks in the branches. I also got a Clover, Marsilea quadrifolia I think...or perhaps Marsilea drummondii... the mature leaves reached the top of the tank and smaller green carpeting type clover was around the base.
Now that the cloudiness has cleared and everything is settled, here's a better shot of the plant. If you look at the individual strands/leaves you'll see that they branch near the top. It seems to be growing well! I think it is e. vivipara after all.
