Ramadevarabetta, Karnataka
7th December 2014


Sagittaria – species in eFIoraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available)


The plant uploade seems to be Sagittaria trifolia


To me it seems to be Sagittaria sagittifolia.


…, please check the probability of Limnophyton obtusifolium (L.) Miq.


I am confused between the two sir. How are Limnophyton obtusifolium and Sagittaria sagittifolia differentiated?


Sagittaria sagittifolia L. is found in Europe and North Asia (as per FoP). Ours are S. trifolia L. (having no purple spot on petals). However, stamens are usually numerous in Sagittaria, about 20 (FoP) or 25 (Flora Indica) in S. s. or S. t.
Your flowers have 6 stamens – so it cannot be S. sagittifolia. You may find the following KEY useful for preliminary check –
  • stamens 6-9 = Alisma, Limnophyton
  • stamens usually many, rarely as few as 6 = Sagittaria

Thank you


Very helpful! Thank you.
I too agree that it is Limnophyton obtusifolium.

along Karnataka State Highway No. 34 between Malamba & Gundolli
Date: 15 OCT 2011 Altitude: about 640 m asl
Sagittaria ¿ sagittifolia ? (family: Alismataceae)
Aquatic herb about 50 – 60 cm height; flower just about 10 mm across
The flowers in this post are already faded.

Seems to be Sagittaria sagittifolia.


Stamens 6, not many, so Limnophyton obtusifolium. Another feature is flowering season, winter (rainy).


Thank you very much … for this ID (Limnophyton obtusifolium).
