Unidentified Rotala (?) species : 4 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3)
Seen in a wet channel from leaking water from a small water hole.
On 14/11/09 in Shamirpet in Rangareddi district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Yes it is also Rotala densiflora (Roth) Koehne
Going by flowers, it appears more closer to Ammannia auriculata Willd.
Sorry, on further examination, it is closer to Rotala densiflora (Roth) Koehne only.
It resembles Nesaea for me
The specimen displayed is not Rotala but Nesaea lanceolata (Heyne ex Clarke) Koehne
Please look for more than one flower or flower buds in a node as a condensed cyme.
