It is my pleasure to share few images of Eichhornia azurea (Pontederiaceae) The plant is rooted to the soil, found in shallow water, as against E.crassipes that floats.

Sighting: Tumkur, Karnataka, about 800 msl Date: 08-07-2014 This does not appear to be Eichhornia azurea as per Flora of Panipat District- Monochoria vaginalis - efloraofindia | Google Groups : 20 posts by 4 authors. 7 images. Monochoria vaginalis. pls validate hopefully it was growing near some water if i am not wrong Yes ... Near a small water body around rice fields Is there any other Monochoria available in your area. Because I have doubts on this identity!! Leaves are too narrow, flowers are white. M. vaginalis is supposed to have cordate base and blue flowers!! This is of course a semi aquatic plant. Flowers are blue, i dont know why camera could not catch color properly. These photos were taken today only Leaves are also different. I have seen this plant many times. Never seen with such leaves. You can google this plant and see the colour and shape of the leaves there. Many pics are available. I assume there is a Flora of Haryana available. You never know, this could be a new species for state! There is another taxa which is not accepted by Kew but I believe it to be a distinct plant: Monochoria vaginalis var. plantaginea (Roxb.) Solms Though I am not so sure yet. Two diff species are reported from Haryana vaginalis and hastata. Key indicate vaginalis as leaves base cordate or truncate- m. vaginalis hastate or sagittate- hastata Monochoria vaginalis var. plantaginea (Roxb.) Solms also given as synonym of M vaginalis in flora of Haryana I think two species are reported from whole of India but both of them have varieties. All varieties of Monochoria is considered as synonym of M. vaginalis. Monochoria hastata has one more variety, M. hastata var. elata. By the way according to your key, your leaves are not truncate!! neither they are hastate, nor cordate or sagittate. Thats why I had doubts. Anyways.... Agreed ... I will try to visit that place again in one or two days to observe more plants for leaf morphology. If it comes out to be a new ssp or variety, then it will be a new record from Haryana So now you know sir why I had been so against the id. You may try to find both of them, may be vaginalis and plantaginea, and on the basis of some prominent characters differentiate it into two distinct varieties or may be species too and you will get a very good taxonomic publication that way too. Just in case you come to the conclusion that your id is correct. Then also you can write an article on MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL VARIATION IN LEAVES OF MONOCHORIA VAGINALIS FROM HARYANA. Really great variation if accept it as single taxon. Our Monochoria vaginalis in Kashmir is more like this one http://derekliew.net/uvariatide/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/28-Monochoria-vaginalis.jpg Yes, this is for sure M. vaginalis. Thanks for sharing.... Thanks for Sharing ... I will try to find out the plant somewhere else also Just a clarification. This is not my plant. Just a link from the net, a plant similar to found growing in Kashmir. Yes, Pontederia vaginalis ID001-weed-bk001 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) Details..
