This small, prostrate herb with glossy leaves was recorded from Pelling in Sikkim..
Please help to conclude the id..
Should this be Hydrocotyle javanica ? I hope Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides Lam. (syn: H. rotundifolia Roxb.) Thanks Sir for correction ..
Attached herewith the plant found growing and covering the ground surface.
Also observed was the white sticky substance [latex] (seen in image)
Photgraphed on 30th April and 15th June 2015 Looks like Hydrocotyle sp. (Apiaceae). May be H. verticillata. Please check in eFI- This is commonly called as Bramhi, a reputed ayurvedic medicine. efi pages on Centella asiatica (Brahmi) & Hydrocotyle verticillata This is not Centella asiatica I have neither Hydrocotyle verticillata. H. conferta Wight is confined to Kerala and TN, hairy and have sessile umbels.
So, it should be one of H. javanica Thunb. and H. sibthorpioides Lam. as per BSI checklist.
Don’t know which one of the two. Yeah Sir, both the plant (H. javanica and H. sibthorpioides) have close resemblance. Will have to wait for experts to reply. Attached recent image dated 25/7/15 recent image? and latex would show clearly if photographed against black paper or non-shiney cloth if its/the plant close by, its doable I will be visiting the place again soon.. will try to photograph it. forgot to tell you if there is latex please be careful Sure … I will be careful.. efi pages on Hydrocotyle javanica & Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides As per Flora of Birtish India – Thanks a ton, Sir! For always providing a detailed information.. Thank you Thank you Madam. Attached herewith related entries in Flora of British India. Please note the fruit descriptions in both the species are confusing in FBI. So, please check description in FoP and FoC as well.
