Hello All

 

Firstly i am really thankful to all those members who have helped me in identifying the plants that i have posted so far.

 

The particular Commelinaceae plant was seen growing at an altitude between 1800-200 mtrs. I chd with the Flowers of The Himalayas but couldnt find it any where

 

Please help with the identification.

I would have thought this is Tradescantia spathacea, Moses in the
cradle, Wandering Jew,
but the leaves look a bit different. Can't be sure.

... reminds me of Cyanotis OR Tonningia ... however, may have no relation to this species.

I think Gurucharangi has specifically mentioned one sps of Commelina with white flowers.
i may be wrong but------

Tabish ji, Tradescantia spathacea Sw. (Syn: Rhoeo discolor (L'Her.) Hance; Rhoeo spathacea (Sw.) Stearn; Tradescantia discolor) is a much different plant with long reddish leaves and axillary flowers clusters.

 

Dinesh ji and Madhuri ji, notice long filamentous hairs in flowers. They are characteristic of Cyanotis. I could find only two species with white flowers C. vivipara (it is, however, epiphytic) and C. speciosa.

 

Nudrat ji, kindly let us know the place and the habitat.

Hello all
i have not came across this plant, but i can say it is some
Tradescantia species.
chances of it being Cyanotis species is less, as series of bracts can
not be observed in the present specimen. also note the flowers are
stalked which probably increases in length in fruiting.
the whole inflorescnece is giving an appearance of it being a
Tradescantia species.
