Spermacoce articularis\u00a0<\/i>L.f. ??<\/p>\n

\n

No …,\u00a0It’s Oldenlandia biflora<\/em>,<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Looks different from images at\u00a0Leptopetalum biflorum<\/span><\/a><\/em>, in particular fruits.
\nAlso could not find a match as per comparative images at\u00a0Oldenlandia<\/span><\/a><\/em>
\nWhat are the species listed in the area?<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

Also does not matches with images at\u00a0Neanotis<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Can you tell what species of\u00a0Oldenlandia<\/span><\/a><\/em>\u00a0are reported from your area to further check up?<\/p>\n

\n

Oldenlandia crystalliana<\/em>??<\/p>\n

\n

Looks close to\u00a0Oldenlandia pumila\u00a0<\/i>(L.f.) DC. !<\/p>\n

Thanks, …, for the id. Oldenlandia crystallina<\/em> is a syn. as per POWO.
\nYes appears close to\u00a0POWO<\/a>\u00a0specimens-\u00a0one<\/a>,\u00a0two<\/a>,\u00a0three<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0four<\/a>\u00a0and as per image at\u00a0FoPI<\/a>.<\/p>\n
