Requesting to please ID this shrub captured in a dried up paddy field near Devgad, Konkan, Maharashtra in November 2012.
Is it Rotala rosea? efi page on Rotala rosea it is a herb I think….what about Ammania?…
Attaching a cropped pic for arriving at the correct ID… Due to the presence of large petal that exceeding the calyx lobes, stem clasping leaf bases I suspect the specimen is of Rotala densiflora. Please check whether the style is present and capsule is enclosed within the calyx tube, then you can confirm the identity as R. densiflora.

Please id this small plant with tiny red flower found in sandy area Mumbra, Maharashtra This is a species of Rotala possibly R.rosea. Appears to be same as in the efi thread: Rotala sp for ID-200811-PKA1: A New Species of Rotala L. (Lythraceae) from Kerala by K. Subrahmanya Prasad and K. Raveendran (Keys of 25 species found in India of which 15 are endemic to Paninsular India) I think it is Rotala densiflora It is very hard to identify Rotala sp. from photographs. For correct identification floral characters are needed.

Requesting to please validate ID of this small plant captured near Satara, Maharashtra in October 2014.
Is this Rotala densiflora?
This looks similar to the plant posed by me earlier, although from a different area It seems to be Ammannia baccifera L. Attaching a cropped version, sorry for not attaching it earlier… Attachments (1) It is Rotala densiflora (Roth) Koehne only The photograph attached is that seems to be Rotala rosea or R. densiflora. Please observe the following characters for confirmation. If it is R. rosea the leaf bases narrow, cuneate, petals minute, capsule well exceeding the calyx tube, style minute. If R. densiflora leaf bases cordate or obtuse, petals bigger and showy exceeding the calyx lobes, capsule up to the level or slightly above the tube, style prominent. I also think closer to images at Rotala densiflora (Roth) Koehne rather than those at Rotala rosea (Poiret) C. D. K. Cook ex H. Hara
Kas week:: PKA44:- Rotala sp. ??: Appears closer to images at Rotala densiflora (Roth) Koehne Seen in a wet channel from leaking water from a small water hole.

Does not matches with images of Rotala densiflora
Can it be R. mexicana as per illustration at http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=94385&flora_id=2 ?
It is obviously not R. mexicana because it is an apetalous (petal less) Rotala species. By flower construction and habit it is close to R. densiflora, but seemingly different also. Please make a critical analysis, probably turn out to be a new species. Yes it’s Rotala densiflora It’s Rotala densiflora (Roth) Koehne
