Attached images are unknown herb. Please ID the plant. Date :23.01.2015 Location: Assam Family : ?? Genus & species : ?? Habitat: Grows wild on open space Habit : Prostrate herb Viola sp. Viola species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available) I do not think it's a Viola despite the leaf shape. This is Lobelia, but species level id is difficult, pictures are not clear except the flower, and no statistics available to determine. ID is not done this way. One Lobelia zeylanica L. is similar looking, not the one in our database, search the net for other pics. Since pedicel is long and leaves subsessile it is more likely Lobelia terminalis C. B. Clarke. Lobelia zeylanica? Arunachal Pradesh 11.2.18 But the leaves are different. Thanks, ... for beautiful images. Pl. check Lobelia Not sure Lobelia terminalis C.B.Clarke as per images herein.
