They used to sell it in several stores in Dallas; Hobby Lobby for one. I bought a whole bunch of it in two sizes, and added it to my croc mount that is sitting on a fake river bank, just drilled holes and stuck it in. I think it added a lot to the mount. After seeing the sitatunga mount, I was thinking of buying some more and adding it to my bushbuck mount. I don't know if they still have any, but Autograph Foliages, www.autographfoliages.com has it on page 46 of their current catalog.

I really had to fight to get that much foliage on the mount, taxidermist don't like to cover up their work. There are three little puck lights beneath the fake water shining up through the papyrus, nice effect. I'll try and photograph it with the lights on.
