ID Request 151214SG : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2) Please help identify this weed spreading 1-1.5’. Photo taken on 15Dec14 at Dhavlas, Maharashtra. Oldenlandia corymbosa in my opinion.. This is Oldenlandia pumila. Oldenlandia corymbosa flowers are carried on a long peduncle. There are some other misidentifications of Oldenlandia pumila on eFI. I think it should be Oldenlandia corymbosa only as per keys at Aquatic and Semi-aquatic Plants of the Lower Ganga Delta, which is based on leaves: Leaves elliptic, about 2 times as long as broad. for O.pumila and Leaves usually linear, about 4-10 times as long as broad in O.corymbosa. Regarding inflorescences, For O.corymbosa, Flora of China says ‘Inflorescence axillary, 1-flowered or usually cymose and 2-5-flowered, glabrous, pedunculate; peduncles 1(or 2) per axil, filiform, 1-16 mm; …’ (Flowers axillary, 1-4, rarely many. Peduncle 10-15 mm long, glabrous. Pedicel c. 4-5 mm long, enlarged in fruit as per Flora of Pakistan). For O.pumila, IBP says ‘Flowers axillary, opposite or alternate, solitary or in 2-flowered cymes; peduncle 0.7-1 cm long; pedicel 1-1.5 cm long’ The flowers in the image are actually solitary in leaf axils. They deceptively look like in a corymb. In Oldenlandia corymbosa the corymb itself is carried on a peduncle. See the images on POWO to see how the corymbs in O. corymbosa look like. Moreover, while Oldenlandia corymbosa is an erect plant, Oldenlandia pumila is by and large prostrate. Pl. see the 1st specimen in the POWO link.

This is a common herb with tiny white flowers. “Bengal Plants” describes 7 Hedyotis species and 11 Oldenlandia species. I am totally confused. Species : Oldenlandia corymbosa L. ??? H & H : small prostrate herb on roadside or wasteplace Date : 25/2/13 Place : Hooghly Sorry for bad quality photographs. Interestingly many of the herbaceous Hedyotis are wrongly identified. We need to study the specimen first before jumping into its naming. I will try to get better pictures of this species. According to the “Bengal Plants” and FoP – Calyx-teeth contiguous …… ——- Hedyotis Calyx-teeth remote (distant) ….. —– Oldenlandia I thought the calyx-teeth in this plant are remote, so i suggested Oldenlandia sp. Now I think Hedyotis has priority over Oldenlandia hence all previously described species of Oldenlandia are considered synonymous under Hedyotis. … can explained it more. I am in Riyadh having no access to the recent monograph on Hedyotis. Attaching some more photographs, recorded today at another place.
