Lysimachia alternifolia from Tiger fall area Chakrata:
Lysimachia alternifolia Wall., Roxb. Fl. Ind., ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 26 (1824) The plant at first look reminds you of Anagallis with similar long axillary pedicels and shape of fruits surrounded by similar calyx lobes, but alternate leaves and yellow flowers lead to look you for some thing closer, and it landed me to Lysimachia alternifolia very distinct from other species in alternate leaves, long slender pedicels and yellow flowers.

Yes, appears close as per images at Shall we follow POWO ?
For me it is very close to Lysimachia evalvis. Very similar to your another Lusimachia suggested by you as L. foenum-graecum Thanks a lot … for inputs and appreciation… efi page on Lysimachia foenum-graecum. However, no distribution in India is shown for this in FOC as per link: Lysimachia foenum-graecum
FOC page on Lysimachia evalvis I think more closer to images at Lysimachia tetragona (syn. Lysimachia alternifolia Wall.) rather than those at Lysimachia evalvis as per
However, looks slightly different w.r.t. the relative size of the pedicels vis-à-vis the leaf size, sepals being longer than the petals ect. May be some closely related species.
Ludwigia sp. probably I do not think it could be Ludwigia sp. Yes, … Your plant appears to be same. And it appears to be close to Plant illustration but description in Flora of China appears to be contradictory.
Description better matches with Biodiversity of Bhutan
Pl. decide.

Lysimachia ciliata L. ??
Does not seem to be distributed in our area.
Also does not matches with images at
Yes, I guess not matching !
Pl. check species available at /species/m—z/po/primulaceae/lysimachia Someone suggested it could be L. alternifoila and coloration due to pigments looking for light. It appears to be close to Plant illustration of Lysimachia evalvis but description in Flora of China appears to be contradictory.

Yes …! Description seems matching but cannot confirm. I think more closer to images at Lysimachia tetragona (syn. Lysimachia alternifolia Wall.) rather than those at Lysimachia evalvis as per

Attachments (3). can anyone help me id this tiny herb pic taken : Sikkim May 2014 Nice set of photographs… Could this be some Lysimachia sp… Just a wild guess… Sikkim is the smallest state with more than 5000 species of flowering plants. I know less than ten percent of that during my tenure there. The genus is confirmed. The species I do not know.
