[EfloraIndi_231212PD02_Mecardonia procumbens_Flora of Odisha]: Name of the species: Mecardonia procumbens
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Place of collection: ranpur, Nayagarh, Odisha
Habit: Herb
Habitat: Wild in grasslands Interestingly this was the first plant I got identified through this group. In fact my joining this group was connected with this plant. I had posted this for identification to another Group, TAXACOM of which I am a member for more than 15 years, a group of International taxonomists of Plants as well as animals, and there a member suggested to me to join this group in August, 2009. It is perhaps a recent introduction to India. so how did it travel all the way from Jamaica to India??/ Thanks a lot Sir Ji. i came to know that this species is native to sub tropical America and introduced in India. finally becomes naturalized in various parts of India. Reported in 2007 from Sri Lanka, earlier 1976 from Hassan District.
Flora of madhya Pradesh: 010212BS-2 Small Herb for id from Maihar Ram Temple Area: Sir this is Mecardonia procumbens of scrophulariaceae- efi thread Yes I too will go with Mecardonia procumbens Yes I first found it in banks of Jamuna in Delhi Attached images are unknown herb collected from two different places of Kamrup district, Assam. Please ID for it.
Date :15/02/2013 &10.04.2013
Location: Kamrup district
Family : Scrophulariaceae (?)
Genus & species : Unknown
Habitat: Grows prostrate on the ground
Habit : Herb
Flower : small , yellow in colour Should be Mecardonia procumbens… A similar plant was identified by … in my earlier post. It is interesting to note that neither F. B. I. nor F. I. features this plant.
But the “Bengal Plants” does mention this herb as “an “introduced and thoroughly naturalised” species from America. The same book mentions it as Herpestis chamaedroides L. The Bengal Plants also informs the herb is erect…….. I have seen both, erect, when it is small and procumbent forms. This plant is flowering now.
Nothing (almost) could be found in the net about the Herpestis chamaedroides L.-
I fully agree with … A number of scientific websites, like the one at – http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id205849/, identify it as Mecardonia procumbens (P. Mill.) Small.

Mecardonia procumbens photographed from Herbal Garden, Delhi and Yamuna Nagar and at Ukhimath in Uttarakhand This plant holds special memory for me because in effort to seek identity of this herb in another forum in 2009 I was directed to indiantreepix which almost changed my life style and enthused new drive to seek plants after a gap of nearly 35 years. A rapidly spreading weed in India.
Great moment changing also the repute of eflora India. We must be thankful to this species! Thanks for sharing your memories along with this plant..

A small herb found in Manipur, at 900 m above sea level.
Flowering in June.
On a casual look I had passed it off as Erythranthe nepalensis (Mimulus nepalensis),
but closer look reveals that it is something else.
