But, Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukherjee has blue flowers -

Dear Garg Sir,

Couldn't find much info on plant description of Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukerjee; though it seems to be very common as per IUCN !

One source informs (p87 of this linked doc) =  flower is "white with pink centre. Locally abundant. On marshy ground within scrub jungles (K. M. Mathew)". But, the same doc fails to provide any detail, hesitant too!

I wonder why eFI, with its 2000+ members, doesn't have a third post on Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukerjee !!!

eFI link of Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukerjee is not helpful at all.

Attaching screenshots of 1) Fl. Br. Ind. 2) F. I. 3) Botany of Bihar and Orissa.

• distribution, flowers, bracts do not tally
• maybe leaves and pedicels too - http://ww2.bgbm.org/herbarium/view_large.cfm?SpecimenPK=37804&idThumb=312778&SpecimenSequenz=1&loan=0
• even Dr, Haines didn't see it in Bihar & Orissa

Thank you,

Regards,

Feedback from another thread:

"I am not confirmed, but think close to Lindernia oppositifolia (L.) Mukherjee. I can confirm on 14th Aug. the day I will go to Central National Herbarium. Based on this live photo, I can consult and identify.

Panda"
