This is another small herb inside an uncultivated paddy field. Species : UNKNOWN H & H : less than 10 cm high, prostrate-erect herb with white flower Date : 26/10/12, 10.40 a.m. Place : Hooghly Received ID of this plant Lindernia antipoda. This might be the same plant as in my earlier upload at - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/d_jDDqQc05E/discussion, but the upper lip of this flower is not 2-lobed. As i checked my earlier uploads of Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston i noticed not all flowers have lobed upper lip. So, it is also Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston, i think.
Seen this small herb at a wet grassland at the outskirts of Mumbai. Stem Prostrate, Leaves: Opposite, Sessile, Serrate. Bot. name: Lindernia antipoda Family: Scrophulariaceae. ARJUl15 Herb for ID : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (2). Found in Bangalore 13th July Could it be a species of Lindernia? Lindernia ruellioides perhaps? Might be Lindernia antipoda Please check Lindernia antipoda Scrophulariaceae Fortnight: 2 in 1 : sk02 : Attachments (6). 6 posts by 3 authors. The one with much bigger flowers is Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston, as have been identified earlier - https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/l/linderniaceae/lindernia/lindernia-antipoda. (more precisely, i think not of FoC or F. B. I,, but Vandellia veronicaefolia of Haines) The one with much smaller flowers (in 1st and last pics) is same as in yesterday's post - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/SDWmmB44VxU/gGqo1hRzZD8J. Recorded today (5.8.13), in Hooghly. Lindernia species in efi I am not confirmed, but think close to Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukherjee. I can confirm on 14th Aug. the day I will go to Central National Herbarium. Based on this live photo, I can consult and identify. Thanks ... Many thanks to ... To me close up plant appears close to images at Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston rather than Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukerjee as per images herein.
it is from Peryar near the reservoir, taken on 11-5-09, I think it is Whlenbergia marginata from Campanulaceae, experts please comment I think it represents Lindernia sp. of Scrophulariaceae I think its Lindernia antipoda Yes now i think ... is right, this plant is Lindernia antipoda.
