Podostemonaceae for ID: 04122011:
Pls ID this moss like plant found on rocks in streams in western ghats. Is it Lawia zeylanica?

Very nice picture, … Did you mean Dalzellia zeylanica? It does look like that. Lawia zeylanica is an unresolved name at ‘theplantlist’.
Surprisingly ‘theplantlist’ doesn’t include Indotristicha tirunelveliana.


Yes, I too think that it is Dalzellia gracilis, a species described from Kerala during 2001.
The type locality is close to my House, Urulanthanni (Pooyamkutty).
I too have got pictures of this species recently from the type locality.
Please find attached herewith the original description.
