This small herb looks like “Lindernia Sp”. Could this be Lindernia roundifolia??
(Photographed today (9.8.09) morning in a grass field in Mumbai).
… possibly Lindernia parviflora.
Thanks …, I checked up with ISC mumbai data base, here is the link..

… I referenced this ID from the same link !!!
…, do you think this to be L. rotundifolia ? query based on shape of leaves.
Beautiful flowers.
Can’t comment because……not much experience in this genus. May be the query is for …
More likely L.parviflora than rotundifolia. Is it not an aquatic plant?
I have identified this plant as L. parviflora based on its venation pattern and calyx being divided to base. this identification was based on Cooke flora, Almeida, Flora of Maharashtra, BSI Flora of Maharashtra. i am quiet sure about its identification. right now i have no literature about L. rotundifolia hence cant cross check now.
i have uploaded about 1050 plant species pics on this website which i identified and prepared an electronic herbarium and digital database
when i was a project fellow on UGC project Electronic Herbarium. this subject was also my Ph.D topic.
this website also has a list of plants in Institute of Science, Mumbai.

Yes, appears to be Lindernia parviflora (Roxb.) Haines as per comparative images at Lindernia
This should also be Lindernia tamilnadensis as per discussions at Lindernia?? – indiantreepix | Google Groups

Posted in 2009 and 2013- published as new species in 2016:
This was posted in 2009 by Prashant Awale ji and in 2013 by Dinesh ji in efloraofindia.
It was published as a new species in 2016 as per details in ‘Lindernia tamilnadensis M. G. Prasad & Sunojk., Phytotaxa 162: 57 (2014)’.
This again highlights the importance of efloraofindia.
Thanks … It is heartening to know.
i think a compilation of such species discussion can be created which later were described as new species.
Nice to see so many plants which were discussed in our forum are being identified as new species at a later date.
