See: http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=94383&flora_id=2 I always thought this one was R. densiflora. It should have 5 calyx lobes and I can’t quite see in these pics. We should wait for … to see these Rotala spp. It is seemingly Rotala rosea. Please confirm if the flower is pentamerous, five sepal lobes, five small petals in between the sepal lobes and five stamens. It is something related to R. rosea. Provide details for correct identification.

Please help in Id. of this plant in water logged area. I can relate it to R. densiflora. confirmation needed. Pics taken at Aambyvalley Rd., Off lonavala, pune in september 17.
Ammannia baccifera L. ?? No …; Rotala only. I think close to Rotala rosea (Poiret) C. D. K. Cook ex H. Hara as per comparative images at Rotala
Yes looks like it. thanks         Devgad, Kokan, MH :: Rotala for ID :: ARK2021-066: 8 images. Ammannia baccifera L. I agree with … ID. It is seen on the tank bund here; rather a very common plant. I think Rotala rosea as per images and details herein.
Seems to Ammannia May be. It was growing flat at the lakeside ! Does not look like match with any Ammannia from Nepal ! If possible try to get closeups These are only images ! Surprised that stems are not erect rather flat on floor but looks like Ammannia or Rotala ?? Yes, …, Check with Rotala rosea, I checked all but not convinced with any ! Appears to be some species of Rotala only, as per comparative image sherein. I checked all but not fully convinced. Leaves look here more linear ! The image is not that of Rotala indica (Willd.) Koehne, but presumably Rotala rosea (Poiret) C.D.K. Cook Two sp. are listed in the book of Karnali Province (Related locality)
R. densiflora and rotundifola.
Any possibility of R. densiflora ?? Yes, Rotala rosea is more likely as per images and details herein and as per distribution in Checklist of Nepal and POWO. Enclosing herbarium images of the sp.
Kas Week : AK19072009: … yes to species of Rotala (family Lythraceae). How about Rotala rotundifolia? If this is a submerged aquatic herb then this would be Rotala ritchiei, a rare plant. It is difficult to catch this in flowers but they are small, pink and axillary. Good, a rare plant came on. It’s not Rotala richiei or rotundifolia it must be Rotala sahyadrica Seemingly it look like Rotala rosea but can be clarified only by getting the floral details.
