– Vallisneria spiralis<\/i> most probably.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

–\u00a0Or perhaps V. natans<\/i>, as V. spiralis<\/i> probably does not grow in India <\/p>\n

\n

– Vallisneria spiralis<\/i> is found in India as well as V. natans<\/i> [Reference: Govaerts et al. 2011: Kew’s checklist)
My contention was based on the spiral stalks present below the flower, if that is not a unique character, then I may be wrong. <\/p>\n

\n

– I would be happier if both species grow in India. My information says that V. spiralis<\/i> does not grow in Asia and the specimens identified as such belong to V. natans<\/i>. By the way spirally coiled female stalk is the generic
character and not unique to any species. <\/p>\n
