Is there any other Monochoria available in your area. Because I have
doubts on this identity!! Leaves are too narrow, flowers are white. M.
vaginalis is supposed to have cordate base and blue flowers!! This is
of course a semi aquatic plant.

Leaves are also different. I have seen this plant many times. Never
seen with such leaves. You can google this plant and see the colour
and shape of the leaves there. Many pics are available. I assume there
is a Flora of Haryana available.
You never know, this could be a new species for state!

There is another taxa which is not accepted by Kew but I believe it to
be a distinct plant:
be a distinct plant:
Monochoria vaginalis var. plantaginea (Roxb.) Solms
Though I am not so sure yet.
Thanks for sharing.

Two diff species are reported from Haryana vaginalis and hastata.
Key indicate vaginalisas
leaves base cordate or truncate- m vaginalis
hastate or sagittate- hastata

Monochoria vaginalis var. plantaginea (Roxb.) Solms also given as synonym of M vaginalis in flora of Haryana

I think two species are reported from whole of India but both of them
have varieties. All varieties of Monochoria is considered as synonym
of M. vaginalis. Monochoria hastata has one more variety, M. hastata
var. elata.

By the way according to your key, your leaves are not truncate!!
neither they are hastate, nor cordate or sagittate. Thats why I had
doubts.
Anyways....

Agreed Pankaj Ji
I will try to visit that place again in one or two days to observe more plants for leaf morphology. If it comes out to be a new ssp or variety, then it will be a new record from Haryana

So now you know sir why I had been so against the id. You may try to
find both of them, may be vaginalis and plantaginea, and on the basis
of some prominent characters differentiate it into two distinct
varieties or may be species too and you will get a very good taxonomic
publication that way too.

Just in case you come to the conclusion that your id is correct. Then
also you can write an article on MORPHOLOGICAL AND ANATOMICAL STUDIES
IN LEAVES OF MONOCHORIA VAGINALIS FROM HARYANA.

Really great variation if accept it as single taxon. Our Monochoria vaginalis in Kashmir is more like this one
