The problem is manifold to me for this plant, rather the issue of “hyssopioides<\/i>“.<\/div>\n
There are-<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Ilysanthes hyssopioides<\/i>\u00a0Benth., backed by illustrations (a) plate 203 of Coromandel Plants and (b) 857 of Icones<\/li>\n
  2. Gratiola hyssopioides<\/i>\u00a0of plate 128 of Coromandel Plants, along with plate 859 of Icones Plantarum<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    And there are descriptions as well as illustrations-<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
      \n
    1. CP plate 128 = FBI Dopatrium lobelioides<\/i>\u00a0Benth., having globose capsule<\/b>\u00a0= Gratiola hyssopioides<\/i>\u00a0of Flora Indica. i. 141., having linear-oblong capsule<\/b><\/li>\n
    2. the plant, efi thread<\/a>, referred by … in this thread, looks more like plate 128<\/b> (Coromandel Plants) to me<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Relevant plates are attached herewith.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Let’s skip the ID of this plant, in this thread, for the time being. Instead, I try to figure out what is Dopatrium lobelioides<\/i>\u00a0Benth.<\/p>\n

      We have two posts in eFI<\/span><\/a> –<\/div>\n
      1) … – efi thread<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
      2) … – efi thread<\/a>\u00a0and there is Flickr a\/c –\u00a0http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/search\/?q=Dopatriumlobelioides&w=91314344@N00&m=tags&z=m<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
      There is a 3rd post. by me, irrelevant here, i have already posted info-plates in this thread.<\/div>\n
      One more time i paste the url of what efI has labelled as Ilysanthes hyssopioides<\/i>\u00a0(L.) Benth<\/span><\/a>. – efi thread<\/a>.<\/div>\n
      I pray … permission for modifying (magnifying) part of his uploaded photographs. And i attach the same herewith. I also attach relevant entries from Icones and Flora Indica (on Gratiola lobelioides<\/i>).<\/div>\n
      The DATA I find from all these documents (excluding illustrations plates of Icones, Coromandel) –<\/div>\n
