Can we have better view of habit and lower leaves. To me it looks like some species of Rotala<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Sir i could find these three pics only<\/p>\n

\n

It may be a species of Pouzolzia<\/i> (Urticaceae<\/i>)<\/p>\n

\n

A second thought, since the flowers are stalked chances of this being Pouzolzia<\/i> may be ruled out. But the leaves very much resembles that of Pouzolzia<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Any chance of Pouzolzia pentandra<\/i> <\/span>(Roxb.) Benn.?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kindly see the description from Eflora of Pakistan <\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242424685<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n

<\/font>I am in deep dilemma as I could learn that there can be stalked flowers in Pouzolzia<\/i>, especially male flowers.
<\/font>Hence, again, I feel the pictures are of a species of Pouzolzia<\/i> only.<\/p>\n

\n

This is Pouzolzia<\/i>. <\/b>Leaves are alternate<\/font>. Only Rotala floribunda<\/i> has alternate leaves.<\/p>\n

\n

This Plant as suggested by\u00a0… should be Poulzolzia pentandra<\/i>. Upper highly reduced, alternate bract-like leaves are quite distinctive for this species.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

Yes I too think that … got it right. <\/p><\/div>\n

This is very tricky to me…. perhaps what we see in these pictures are spicate apex of the shoot of a Pouzolzia<\/i>, where leaves become bactiform (vide Haines). In that case, to my understanding, it should be Gonostegia pentandra<\/i> (Roxb.) Miq.<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

Please note as per Haines in P. hirta<\/i> Hassk. doesn’t run bracteate spike.<\/div>\n
And it is quite possible that I am wrong.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/span>I have never seen such a Pouzolzia<\/i> or Gonostegia<\/i>. My guess was wild. FoC says P. zeylanica<\/i> bracts are triangular<\/font><\/a>, but that plant is unknown to me.<\/p>\n

I request … to wait for experts’ views, meanwhile browsing some herbaria – <\/div>\n

Thank you \u2026 and …! It looks very similar to Pouzolzia pentandra<\/i>. I have seen many Pouzolzia<\/i> species, but none with leaves so narrow.<\/div>\n
