Sagittaria<\/span><\/a> – species in eFIoraofindia (with details\/ keys from published papers\/ regional floras\/ FRLHT\/ FOI\/ efloras\/ books etc., where ever available)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plant uploade seems to be Sagittaria trifolia<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

To me it seems to be Sagittaria sagittifolia<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

…, please check the probability of Limnophyton obtusifolium<\/i> (L.) Miq.<\/p>\n

\n

I am confused between the two sir. How are Limnophyton obtusifolium<\/i> and Sagittaria sagittifolia<\/i> differentiated?<\/p>\n

\n
Sagittaria sagittifolia<\/i> L. is found in Europe and North Asia (as per FoP). Ours are S. trifolia<\/i> L. (having no purple spot on petals). However, stamens are usually numerous in Sagittaria<\/i>, about 20 (FoP) or 25 (Flora Indica) in S. s.<\/i> or S. t<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n
Your flowers have 6 stamens – so it cannot be S. sagittifolia<\/i>. You may find the following KEY useful for preliminary check –<\/div>\n
