Hooghly Today : might be Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T. Anders. : 4 images. 3 posts by 2 authors. This seems to be the one, described and illustrated in –
I found this small herb on the edge of a pond. This plant is Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T.Anderson. Besides other features the glabrous capsule with pubescent tip can clearly be seen in image no. DSCN7837.
And this is the same plant as in – efi thread, though in different stage of growth. This is more mature stage. More the waterline recedes the spikes of this plant elongate more, and the leaves, i think, reduce, both in number and size.
The following links might help to determine the species :-

This small herb with minute flowers was recorded from my village, usually comes with rice crop (after rains)..
I am yet to know the name, the tentative id for me is any Phaulopsis sp., please advise.. Only species of Phaulopsis so far in efi is Phaulopsis imbricata Please check the probability of Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T. Anders. Yes agree with … Looks like Hygrophila polysperma. There is only one Phaylopsis in FBI, P. parviflora Willd., the correct name of the genus is Phaulopsis (ref. Tropicos) though. Thank you very much … for id conclusion..I will check the local floras for further information…!!
Unbelievable! …. isn’t it?
pls id this small wild herb about 10 cm high
found in Pujam Karnal Haryana (230 mts)
leaves opposite and flowers white Please check for species of Adenosma Hygrophila polysperma .
Presenting for identification and deliberation … is of opinion it is probably Hygrophila polysperma (on fb).
An auatic herbaceous plant from Surat, Gujarat, seen today (28.11.19) around 0930 hrs in morning. Habitat a vacant plot, was waterlogged. Other plants around were Alternanthera sessilis, Hygrophila auriculata, some grasses, Stemodia viscosa, Ammannia baccifera. Habit is prostrate, terminal part of stem or branches erect. Flower very small…size evident compared to fingers in frames. To me also appears close to Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T.Anderson as per images and details herein and as per comparative images at Hygrophila
This herb is from Pench Tiger Reserve

This forms like a carpet in wet area during winter
Please id this plant My guess is Striga sp. This looks more like a member of Acanthaceae not striga Lepidagathis cuspidata ?? No. It looks different as per Lepidagathis cuspidata Thanks a lot … for resurfacing. I think this plant is Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T.Anderson…….
14102011-BS-3 Small herb for id from Pujam Karnal: about 10-20 cm high wild with white flowers
Shot in Pujam Karnal Haryana (230 mts)
pls id … Check for Asystasia mysorensis...looks similar to the one posted by me Not agree with Asystasia mysorensis Just a wild guess I don’t remember about any aroma. I think Aroma was not there in this herb Yes, there was no aroma, as we shot this herb together..from the same place.. Acanthaceae, probably a member of Justicia Lepidagathis I think it is Hygrophila polysperma as per images and details herein.
Justicia sp? SN9121: 3 images. Details are not clear.
May I request you to pl. post high resolution images of 1st two images. 2 images. Pl. check comparative images at Lythraceae Maybe some Rotala species as per comparative images herein.
It is close to Hygrophila polysperma (Roxb.) T.Anderson of our comparative images. .
It reminds me of Hygrophila polysperma, Indian Swampweed, a very variable plant. . I’d of a herb from Bilaspur: 3 images. Appears to be some Acanthaceae member. Pl. check
