Limnophila indica is the accepted name as per the plant List and L. gratioloides is a synonym.

I had posted similar plant from Pune which was also IDed as L. indica.

I was checking the key for Limnophila.

Limnophila aquatica and Limnophila indica are very close species.

Stems 1-2; corolla 1-2 cm long or more ... ... ... ... L.aquatica

Stems 3-8; corolla 0.5-1 cm long ... ... ... ... ... ... ..L.indica

Further in the description of aerial leaves: those of L.aquatica are opposite or 3-4 verticillate .which is the finding here.

Can it be L.aquatica then??

Size wise this as well as my plant is more likely to be L.indica though.
