Could this be the plant what has been described as Limnophila hirsuta<\/i> In Bengal Plants<\/font><\/a>, the current accepted name of which might be Limnophila chinensis<\/i> (Osbeck) Merr.<\/font><\/a>?<\/p>\n

About a fortnight ago i received a mail from Taiwan. …………………….his. We had a few correspondence regarding various Limnophila<\/i> species. <\/p>\n

Regarding other two species i copy (highlighted in yellow) part of her mails –<\/div>\n

“About the first post <\/font><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/font>https:\/\/groups.google.com\/forum\/?fromgroups=#!topic\/indiantreepix\/zPGSUbtWrvw<\/font><\/a> , it might be <\/font><\/span><\/font>Limnophila hirsuta <\/i>(Heyne ex Benth.) Benth. in Prain’s “Bengal Plants”. The name now become a synonym of <\/span>Limnophila chinensis <\/i>(Osbeck) Merr. Actually, the plant <\/span>L. chinensis<\/i> in China has purple flowers, and pale blue in Vietnam. It’s my first time to see pink flowers on <\/span>L. chinensis.<\/i><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

About this species (in this thread) she opines. “….<\/font><\/span>it might be <\/span>Limnophila<\/span> hirsuta <\/i><\/font>(Heyne ex Benth.) Benth. in Prain’s “Bengal Plants”….<\/font>..<\/span><\/font>“.<\/font> AT the same time she pointed out the difference in flower colour.<\/span><\/div>\n
My reply was that low end digi-cam fails to produce true colour in the blue-violet spectrum of light.<\/span>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here is a herb or shrublet<\/font> from Satajaan Bird Sanctuary<\/font>, Assam,<\/font> <\/div>\n
found blooming in December<\/font>. Reminds me of Lindernia<\/i> family,\u00a0but I have not been able to identify it.<\/div>\n
Any help is welcome.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
What about Centranthera<\/i>??<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Is it Limnophila repens<\/i>?\u00a0<\/div>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
Yes Limnophila<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Do check L. chinensis<\/i>. Leaves are very variable in that species.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Limnophila aromatica<\/i> (Lam.) Merr.<\/font><\/a>\u00a0??<\/p>\n
\n

To me it appears to agree best with Limnophila aromatica<\/i>, where leaves are opposite or in whorls of 3, Corolla white, blue-purple, or pink, 1-1.3 cm, sparsely and finely glandular, inside white villous.<\/font><\/p>\n
