Found this Acanthaceae member growing on the wall.
Location: Thane
Lindenbergia ?
its Lindenbergia -Scrophulariaceae
A Lindenbergia sp., most probably L. indica (Scrophulariaceae).... Seen growing on old walls...
I agree with L indica id.
Lindenbergia indica Vatke
Family: Plantaginaceae
It is Lindenbergia indica. Leaves opposite, pubescent on ventral side and if slightly succulent then confirm it is Lindenbergia
Yes sir does look like Lindenbergia indica because of very short petioles less than .5 cm
yes it is Lindenbergia india (L.) Vatke.
To me appears more closer to images at Lindenbergia muraria (Roxb. ex D. Don) Brüh rather than those at Lindenbergia indica (L.) Vatke
On further re-examination after sorting out all posts in efloraofindia, this should be Lindenbergia indica as per keys, images, details and references herein.
Leaves small, up to 1.5 cm, petioles also less than 1 cm, therefore this should be Lindenbergia indica Vatke
As per reply on 31.08.2015
Yes, ...

Photo Taken on-3.8.2007

... looks so much like Lindenbergia muraria !!

Similar to what I have at
Going by what ... had stated, L. muraria is endemic, rather restricted to Bassein (Vasai) area, north of Mumbai.
Refer to earlier my post
Lindenbergia muraria is not endemic. It's broadly distributed, rather you will find it in Flora of China too.
Guess by "exclusively on the walls of Bassein fort" ... meant that in that particular area it grows on the walls of the fort. 
.... that is lot of relief, many thanks... thanks for the clear perception.
And, I assume that you are finding ... plant to be L. muraria.

Hooghly Today : Lindenbergia indica Kuntze : Attachments (6). 9 posts by 2 authors.
Lindenbergia urticaefolia Lehm. = Lindenbergia indica Kuntze, a wild small herb very common on old walls.
ID Help :
  1. Book link
  2. Book link
  3. efi thread
  4. Arkive
It is interesting to note that FoI has two different species, using the same synonym Lindenbergia urticaefolia !!! Also confusing (to me) old eFI records.
There is a lot of confusion in this regard. The Plant list gives three names as unresolved as per link:
Few books from India talks about Lindenbergia indica (L.) Kuntze as per the following links:
Refrences are also there from India of Lindenbergia indica Vatke with Lindenbergia urticifolia Lehm. as synonym as per the following links:
There is similar confusion in the different threads of efi as at efi site
Which name we should consider as the correct name ?
May be ..., can sort out the matter with his great knowledge.
According to F. B. I. iv. 262. -
L. urticaefolia Lehm. = Stemodia ruderalis Vahl. Symb. ii. 69.; Roxb. Fl. Ind. iii. 94.; Wall. Cat. 3923. = S. muralis Roxb. in Don Prodr. 89. = Brachycoris parviflora Schrad, Ind. Sem. Gott. 1830.
According to The Plant List S. ruderalis Retz. is also unresolved!
Do not know if Stemodia muraria Roxb. ex D. Don, Prodr. FL. Nepal. 1825 is same as Stemodia muralis Roxb. in Don Prodr. 89. of F. B. I. iv. 262.
Our group has some posts of Lindenbergia muraria and my species might be the same.
Some points from F. I. iii. 94.-95. :-
Stemodia ruderalis Willd. iii. 345. & c.
  • flowers axillary, solitary, sub-sessile
  • found on old walls about Calcutta
  • flowers during the rain
  • calyx ten furrowed, five toothed, permanent
  • upper lip very narrow, bifid; inside of both (lower & upper lip) hairy, and beautifully marked with small purple dots
Thanks, ...,
Question is all these refer to the same plant or different plants ? And which name we should follow for our India Plant ?
Our experts may help in this regard.
This is Lindenbergia urticaefolia Lehm. of "Bengal Plants"
Relevant links :
  1. The Plant List
  2. Book link
And this matches -
  1. Book link
  2. Book link
Other relevant links -
I think we can finally as per latest literature as below:
Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell (1943- Description & Keys- Lindenbergia grandiflora, macrostachya & ruderalis. Also mentions L.indica) taking it as Lindenbergia ruderalis (Retz.) Voigt
The following words are copied from the literature (Pennell) you have cited -
"......... the free lobes of both lips rounded; ......" (for L. ruderalis of Pennell; not of Voigt)
I am very sorry that i fail to find any free lobes in the upper lip of my species.
As you identified it earlier as Lindenbergia urticaefolia Lehm., which is now considered a syn. of Lindenbergia ruderalis (Retz.) Voigt as per latest litrature: Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell (1943- Description & Keys- Lindenbergia grandiflora, macrostachya & ruderalis. Also mentions L.indica)
Pennel is cosidered an authority on Indian Scrophulariaceae.
Have a look please, for L. ruderalis, at the following sites -
  1. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=200020714
  2. you will see a number of pics, that fit Dr. Pennell's description, eg. - http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=109006&flora_id=800
Again, i am sorry, i do not think this is my species. Neither KEW does think all (synonyms used by Dr. Pennell) is same -
  1. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2498864
  2. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2498855
  3. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2587063
Still, if you think Dr. Pennell is the last word then why not take the synonym Stemodia muraria Roxburgh ex D. Don ???, which is accepted as Lindenbergia muraria (Roxburgh ex D. Don) Brühl ???
Thanks, ..., Stemodia muraria Roxburgh ex D. Don is also a syn. of Lindenbergia ruderalis (Retz.) Voigt as per latest litrature: Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell (2007- Description & Keys- Lindenbergia grandiflora, macrostachya & ruderalis. Also mentions L.indica)
Also reconstructed efi page :
 
  1. the book you are referring is "Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas". i think it doesn't cover entire India and the same can be ascertain by these very words "possibly within our territory is also......"
  2. please, see the attached screenshots of Flora Indica, Voigt, this thread and another recent post -
  3. please, note Voigt gives no flower description, instead equates it with F.I.
  4. please note F. I. clearly informs that the upper lip of this flower is very narrow and found on old walls about Calcutta, also note, it is Stemodia ruderalis Willd. iii. 345 & c.
  5. I do not know if the same above is synonymous with S. muralis Roxb.or the ones in the document you have cited.
You may also like to see these remaining screenshots in this thread.

I have measurements of leaves, flowers, part of the plant in this set; I have picture of fruit as well. I am also attaching relevant entries in old literatures. This species, as per characters shown in the attached photographs, should be Lindenbergia urticifolia Lehm. of "Bengal Plants" or L. urticaefolia Lehm. of "botany of Bihar and Orissa" and "Flora of British India" or Stemodia ruderalis of "Flora Indica".
This should be Lindenbergia indica as per keys, images, details and references herein.
