Beautiful images, I hope\u00a0it is\u00a0Murdania<\/i>… which one …?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Please check\u00a0Murdannia gigantea\u00a0<\/i>(Vahl) G.Br\u00fcckn. !<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you very much for ID my plant. I observed the hairy stigma centered is clearly in all my flowers, but not at eFI, check collage (my flower at top) and please clarify,<\/p>\n

\n

Please see if these match.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, they are matching, beautiful images, thank you very much for sharing,<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, appears close to images at\u00a0Murdannia gigantea<\/em>\u00a0(Vahl) G.Br\u00fcckn.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I think the flowering shoot here is terminally positioned in the rosette of leaves. If so, this could be\u00a0Murdannia gigantea<\/em> (Vahl) G.Br\u00fcckn.<\/span><\/p>\n
