Could this be Commelina undulata? This could be Commelina ensifolia rather than C. undulata. Thank you very much.

Commelina ensifolia R. Br, common wild herb from Kancheepuram district of Tamilnadu    Commelina sp. for ID from Uttarakhand_DSR_October 2017_3 : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) This Commelina sp. was shot near Jimmi Ghat (1800m), near Munsyari in Uttarakhand. Please suggest the ID. Thanks, …, I hope you have already checked comparative images at /species/a—l/cl/commelinaceae/commelina To me appears close to images at Commelina ensifolia R.Br. as per comparative images at /species/a—l/cl/commelinaceae/commelina
Do you have the specimens with you, if yes? I would suggest to dissect the capsule and let me update with the number of locules and seeds.
Brown ciliate hairs at sheath summit are really unique, otherwise for me too it appears to be C. ensifolia. Thank you … for suggesting the ID as C. ensifolia. Since this species is not known in Uttarakhand more critical study of specimens can be conclusive. Unfortunately I did not collected the specimens.
Sevvel01 – 30 September – Kallar, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu – Commelina species for ID. : 10 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4)
Location : Kallar, Mettupalayam, Ciombatore, Tamil Nadu.
Date : 30 October 2018. Elevation : 500 m. Habit : Wild. The leaves were covered with dense hairs. Might this be Commelina hirsuta?
Thanks, …, May be as per /species/a—l/cl/commelinaceae/commelina/commelina-hirsuta Thanks … My specimen does not seem to match with Commelina hirsuta! Still looking for ID… Not Commelina hirsuta, you can check with Commelina ensifolia instead. It is not Commelina hirsuta. Sorry! It does not seem to match with Commelina ensifolia too. I checked some images and all of them do not have this much surface hairs on the leaves. That is what confuses me!
Leaf surface hairs vary, especially in Commelina. You can confirm with the capsule and seed characters.
I believe this is possibly C. ensifolia. Do confirm.
Thanks … I did not get any specimens from my last trip. I’ll try to collect specimens next time for detailed analysis.
