small herb for id<\/a> : Attachments (3).\u00a0\u00a010 posts by 6 authors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I saw this small herb in a fallow field <\/span>yesterday (22.<\/span>12.13) in Thane dist, near Tungareshwar WLS.
\n<\/span>It has a look of Rotala<\/i>, same kind of size, but yellow flowers, terete stem, hairy.
\n<\/span>Please help to identify.<\/p>\n

\n

Vahlia digyna<\/i> (Retz.) Kuntze (= <\/span>V. viscosa<\/i> Roxb.), (= <\/span>Bistella digyna<\/i> (Retz.) Bullock); Fam: <\/span>Vahliaceae<\/i>. It is often confused with <\/span>Oldenlandia<\/i>. It belongs to polyptalous family<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Many thanks, that seems to be the correct id.
\nAre you aware of its distribution in India? I have never come across it before.<\/p>\n

\n

This is available in moist places, falow paddy fields. <\/span>It is reported in flora of Tamil nadu<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

yes, seen in sandy riverbeds too<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

…, I wonder if it is Vahlia<\/i>. Can you pls check if it is Aizoon canariensis<\/i> of Aizoaceae<\/i>?<\/p>\n

\n

I think that’s unlikely since 1) Aizoon<\/i> is a prostrate or diffuse plant 2) it is a dry area plant.
\nMy herb is growing in a monsoon waterlogged area. It is not prostrate at all.<\/p>\n
