Plants from gujarat
wetland plant
Habitat wild
Habit herb
Acanthaceae family
does it has variable leaves in the lower part. just a guess can be Limnophila sps This should be Limnophila rugosa (Roth) Merr. as per images and details herein.
Pls identify this plant species of Gujarat: Kindly identify and confirm the plant found in Panchamahal District of Gujarat State.
Plant was collected from paddy field during August month.
Let me know the botanical name of the plant.
Plant locally known as VARIYALI.
Hygrophila sp.?
Is it Limnophilla indica Can anyone have any idea about the family (with key charecters) ??????? Limnophila i thought was semi aquatic plant. The ground in the picture doesnt favour the habitat of the species. Lots of confusion! As the plant was collected from a paddy field, it may be Limnophila repens (Benth.) Benth. as per details and references herein.
On further checking, I think it should be Limnophila rugosa (Roth) Merr. as per images and details herein. you are correct, we have reported first time in Gujarat.
