Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- 9-15.5-2.5-4.5cm -This species is very close to Commelina kurzii but can’t confirm without capsule and seed I guess Commelina paludosa Blume. Agree with …, but I feel we need to confirm which is only possible with the capsule and seeds. .
Flora picture of the Year 2010 commelina from UK VOF: this photo of mine a flora picture of the year2010 has nothing to do with photography of flower but it is more related to the sigihting of commelina in Uttarakhand.

I think it is some Commelina species.
Sonepat, Haryana, on the wet soil in the vicinity of a water channel. It is often difficult to ID Commelina’s without spathe and flower. Looking at habit and locality: I guess, Commelina paludosa. .
What are the listed species from the area? Commelina paludosa only in the book burn there seems to be many species found there ! Interesting to see the capsule and seeds, … We have come across one unique population here in mainland India, we identified it as Commelina erecta. Where to keep it for now, with or without (?) mark in our database? Keeping it under Commelina paludosa ? for the time being.
