Kas flora 19Sep2010
These small Murdannia flowers were observed under the other common herbs of Impatiens Murdannia simplex Eriocaolon etc.
Size of the flower about half of that of Murdannia simplex . I think this is Murdannia semeteres please validate.

Dear Satish Ji,

Does the colour of the flower varries in shades of Blue? If yes this is Murdannia semiteres

Check the flower from the Dinesh Ji's Flickr page 9link provided below)

Mayur ji,
Not sure how small the flower posted by Satish ji is ... BUT, how small the flower of M. semiteres can be ? ... would it be as small as the size of a Eriocaulon flower head ? (just about 3 - 4 mm).
AND, about when did Murdannia semiteres get treated as synonym of Murdannia nimmoniana ?

Regards.

Regards.
