Brassicaceae Week : Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern from Hooghly: Attaching images of Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern. Species : Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern H & H : wild herb of about 1 foot Date : 6/5/12 Place : Hooghly I have not seen it, but the third photograph shows bracts below flowers suggestive of R. benghalensis, although pedicels are not slender. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=241000169 Thank you very much for the ID. I was also hesitant, since illustrations of R. indica in FoP & FoC were a bit different.
Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern from Assam KD )08 April 2015 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) Attached images seem to be Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern. Please validate. Date :12.04.2015 Location: Assam Family : Brassicaceae Genus & species : Rorippa indica (L.) Hiern (?) Habitat: Grows wild on ditches Habit :Herb Hirsute nature, auriculate leaf, bracteate raceme suggest Rorippa benghalensis DC. (H. Hara)? efi page on Rorippa benghalensis Presently I am unable to confirm anything, please check my latest upload I only suggest that in addition to the points I have written earlier flowers of benghalensis are pale yellow while indica flowers are yellow (as per FoC). Flora of British India (ah! old lit. again!) informs leaf-like bracts of benghalensis are shorter than pedicels. I have confusion, yet I would select benghalensis for this species.
