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.

Lindernia species identification : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)- 1 mb each. These photos were taken August 31st 2020 in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh in a hilly jungle area. I suspect they are Bonnaya ruellioides (syn Lindernia ruellioides) based on leaf description (photo specimen measures 1.8 cm), seed shape and flower. Thanks in advance for any idea you can give Bonnaya antipoda (L.) Druce Syn : Lindernia antipoda (L.) Alston ! I also feel more closer to Lindernia antipoda rather than Lindernia ruellioides as per details and images herein and as per comparative images at Lindernia Thanks - I initially thought it wasn't Bonnaya antipoda since it didn't have the conspicuous two yellowish stamonodes, but now I notice that it's probably just concealed in the photo.
