This herb seen at Matheran on 7.9.13
Stem about 8cms, glabrous. Branches striate. Leaves in pairs, sessile, oblong and pointed, getting smaller towards the top. Stamens look bearded. Flowers solitary, much longer than the calyx, whitish with purple markings and yellow in the throat. Pedicels become elongated and deflexed in fruit. Capsules oblong and pointed.
Please forgive low resolution pics.
According to Cooke and Fl. of Mah by Dr Almeida it appears to be Lindernia hyssopiodes. Please validate. This appears to be similar to the one i had seen at Lohagad. I really don’t know about Dopatrium lobelioides. I’ve seen Shrikant’s book and there he states that the capsules are globose and that flowering is in December. While flowering can be erratic, capsules cannot be a different shape. The capsules I saw are clearly ellipsoid with a tail at the end. BSI’s Fl of Maharashtra gives a short description and states the capsules are oblong but in the key to the species it says the capsules are globose.
In Dr Almeida’s Fl. of Maharashtra vol 3 p. 404 there is a clear description of Lindernia hyssopioides (Linn.) Haines with synonyms being Gratiola hysssopioides, Bonnaya hyssopioides and Ilysanthes hyssopioides and this exactly matches with my plant. There is also an interesting paper in Kew Bulletin entitled A new species of Lindernia (Scrophulariaceae) from India by V. V. SIVARAJAN with some clear details about L. hyssopioides.
You can find one efI post for Lindernia hyssopioides which looks like my Matheran plant.
I have also seen yours and Dinesh’s posts of Dopatrium lobelioides. Please can you give me your references for it? Do you think the 2 species can be synonymous?

Small annual herb seen at wet grassland/ rice field in North Karnataka. I think images are of Lindernia hyssopoides (and not of Dopatrium lobelioides) as per discussion in another thread.
The last picture is awesome.. thanks for showing.. … are u sure all the three uploads are from same species ? To me the last one looks different. Please have a look on the third upload in the thread. The first two are Dopatrium lobelioides. Thanks very much … for pointing to the error. I have done some mix up at the time of exploration. Definitely mixed population at the site. And now I realise I had mistaken the specimen for close-up. Now keen to know of the possible ID of this third upload. Sir please check Lindernia antipoda (Corolla bluish white with an yellow mouth which ur picture appears) for third upload Ah thank you very much … I was thinking of Lindernia! Will check and label accordingly in my flickr notes. Thank you very much. I think first two images are of Lindernia hyssopoides (and not of Dopatrium lobelioides) as per discussion in another thread.
These images are there in FOI site as Dopatrium lobelioides which also needs to be corrected. Thanks very very much … for your keen eyes. Indeed, I mixed them up and would not have realized my mistake. I have corrected my notes in flickr.

Habit:Herb Habitat:Wild,by the side of Paddy fields Sighting: Hethoor,near Sakaleshpur,Karnataka,about 1000 msl Date:18-09-2016 Any Lobelia species ? Thanks … it matches Dopatrium lobelioides. A slight confusion because of the superficial similarity between Lindernia hyssopoides and Dopatria lobeliodes…..!? and I am unable to differentiate…! Lindernia hyssopoides- Leaves linear, lanceolate, narrowed to base, palmately nerved, Corolla white-pink, stamens 4, anterior filaments appendiculate, capsule, elongated and deflexed.

Ref: http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=4080&cat=1 If we go by the following, posted plant should be Lindernia hyssopoides Herbarium specimen at http://florakarnataka.ces.iisc.ernet.in/hjcb2/herbsheet.php?id=4041&cat=1
Images in efi at/ ofDopatrium lobelioides(also in FOI) may also be of Lindernia hyssopoides Yes, there is a lot of similarity in 2 plants. Looking at your plant carefully it is L. hyssopioides. Reflexed pedicels in fruit is characteristic to this sp. In flowers, the upper lip is notched and lobes of lower lip are deeply cut and dentate on margins. In D lobelioides flowers, upper lip is entire and lower lip is shallowly cut and is entire on margins of lobes.
Even the IISC site seems to show pics of L hyssopioides against both.
This does happen while identifying plants by mere foto tallying. My picture of Dopatrium lobelioides flowers.
To be very sure one must see dissected flowers of both species for place of insertion of stamens A. in corolla tube for Dopatrium B. in corolla throat for Lindernia
Attachments (1) Thanks, … May I request you to pl. post complete plant also of Dopatrium lobelioides. Is the plant given in http://www.eflorakkl.in/Details.php?id=53is incorrect, where the inflorescence given is totally different ? Is the plant given in http://www.eflorakkl.in/Details.php?id=53 is incorrect, where the inflorescence given is totally different from the attached images of Dopatrium lobelioides?

There is a 3rd post. by me, irrelevant here, i have already posted info-plates in this thread.
One more time i paste the url of what efI has labelled as Ilysanthes hyssopioides (L.) Benth. – efi thread.
I pray … permission for modifying (magnifying) part of his uploaded photographs. And i attach the same herewith. I also attach relevant entries from Icones and Flora Indica (on Gratiola lobelioides).
The DATA I find from all these documents (excluding illustrations plates of Icones, Coromandel) –
The post at efi threadis surely Dopatrium lobelioides Benth. (assuming … and … posts are correctly identified, though have some doubt over one photograph in … post).
In the following mails in my thread (referred here) I also pasted links of various Gratiola herbarium. in Linnean.org. Also, I have already expressed my sincere apology in my post. This plant is not Dopatrium lobelioides Benth. In continuation i would like to copy here the description of Bonnaya hyssopioides Benth. from “A Synopsis of the East Indian Scrophularineae” (George Bentham) –
B. hyssopioides (Benth. in Wall. Cat. n.3867), caule elongato laxo, foliis oblongislanceolatisve remotis, pedunculis axillaribus elongatis filiformibus, corollis calyce 3-4-plo longioribus. – Gratiola hyssopioides, Linn.

Small herb photographed at “Lohgad wadi”, Lonavala. On reading the key for Scroph. in BSI flora Mah
Lindernia comes under the group of plants with ……distinct bilabiate corolla; with subequal lobes. ……the next distinguishing character is: capsule opening by valves (and not by pores) Thank you very much for this interesting plant, seems to be a small herb with a relatively big flower.
As i read descriptions of L. oppositifolia found in a number of literature i have, i think, it cannot be L. oppositifolia.
On the other hand there is an illustration which may fit with your plant – http://www.plantgenera.org/ILLUSTRATIONS_HD/35211.jpg.
Please note the above illustration is of Bonnaya minima G. Don., which is synonym of L. oppositifolia as per KEW.
Please, also note that the same has been tagged with L. hyssopoides (L.) Haines, in – http://www.plantgenera.org/illustration=35211.
Also some info, right or wrong can be found in – http://indiabiodiversity.org/species/show/227602, . Bonnaya oppositifolia Spreng. (Gratiola oppositifolia Roxb.; Vandellia oppositifolia comb. nov.) = flowers 0.25 inch.; axillary and upper racemed; very short pedicels, mostly shorter than calyx.
Lindernia hissopioides comb. nov. = flowers 0.35 to 0.5 inch. long and 0.3 inch broad; on axillary filiform pedicels 0.5 to 1.5 inch long.
The above data is from “Botany of Bihar & Orissa” and assuming the flower in this thread is axillary (not clear in the attached pic) i would go for L. hissopiodes. I would like to correct the id i suggested. This is Ilysanthes minima Benth. (Bonnaya minima Wight), not B. minima of G. Don.
Attaching relevant doc. from FBI & Icones. this looks very much like the one I just posted yesterday. Please have a look. I think it is Lindernia hyssopioides.

Small herb, around 8 to 10 cm tall.
Bot. name: Dopatrium lobelioides Family: Plantaginaceae Date/Time: 24-01-2014 / 02:00PM Location: at the outskirts of Chikmagalur (near water body) Habitat: Wild, near water body. Excellent presentation..very beautiful flowers.. I think images are of Lindernia hyssopoides (and not of Dopatrium lobelioides) as per discussion in another thread. I agree with … ID. Thanks a lot … for correcting the ID..
Gratiola parviflora = Ilysanthes hyssopioides Benth. !? : Attachments (3). 3 posts by 2 authors.
These are screenshots from Flora of British India, Icones.. and Plants of .. Coromandel. Two are treated differently in efi as per: Lindernia parviflora & Lindernia hyssopoides Oh! …, surely two are different!
But, you must have noticed that Dr. Hooker, while describing Ilysanthes hyssopioides Benth, referred to plate no. 203 of Coromandel Plants (also 857 of Icones).
Now, plate 203 is of Gratiola parviflora (you must have seen the plate also). Isn’t it?
Can you please throw some light on this confusion (to me)?
Please suggest name for this small herb

Looks like Lindernia sp. What about leaves? Leaves shown in the image does not belong to the plant, is it? Thanks … looks Lindernia hyssopioides. Leaves showing in Image name ending with 477 belongs to same plant. Requesting a id-180422-2: 1 correct high res. image.
Herb, found on the edges of paddy fields. A miniature herb with beautiful tube shaped mauve-flowers. Please check Linderniaceae! Both are different. |
