Sending Veronica anagallis aquatica L. from Delhi, growing wet places along fields and ditches.

Emarginate fruits take me to Veronica anagalloides subsp. anagalloides as per keys herein as well as per kys in Flora of China.
Pl. have a look.

I think this should be Veronica undulata Wall. Matches as per details in Scrophulariaceae of the Western Himalayas By Francis . Pennell

Sharing some pictures fro ID shot at Roshi River Nepal on 29 May 2015 at 3000 ft.

Looks like Veronica sp. of Scrophulariaceae (Now Plantaginaceae). Appear closer to V. anagallis- aquatica.

To me also appear close to images at Veronica anagallis-aquatica

Emarginate fruits take me to Veronica anagalloides subsp. anagalloides as per keys herein as well as per kys in Flora of China.

Fruiting image looks matching but POWO, GBIF showing no distribution in India whereas CoL showing distribution in J&K only !

Check if any of the names in checklist of Nepal, is syn. of this name.

One possibility is Veronica undulata Wall. as per Checklist of Nepal, but again the emarginate capsule is contradictory.
