Herb ID request - RK23 - 17-Oct-2012

[Rashmi Khiani]

Hello all,

 

Another small herb of around 1.5 feet height in Mumbai. It has small but one of the most beautiful yellow flowers. Would love to know its id.

Nice pictures of Ludwigia sp., most probably L. perennis.

Excellent images & very interesting post too Rashmi ji.

Most likely to be L. prostrata.
This is the most uncommon of the Ludwigia species around Mumbai, please share it's location.

A word of caution: Ludwigia's need closer scrutiny for definitive identification down to species  level.

Regards,

Samir Mehta

Very nice pictures Rashmi ji
This plant confirms the identity of your earlier post of Ipomoea aquatica from similar habitat. Coming to this plant Id: it is Ludwigia species. I remember we had a long discussion with Samir ji throwing up light on the key about the Ludwigia species.
Stamens need to be checked carefully.

Thanks a lot Vijayasankar ji, Samir ji and Dr Satish for your
responses. The pictures were taken at Kala Nagar in Bandra. In case I
happen to see it again, could you please suggest what to check and
photograph to be able to identify the species. Tks again.

I am highly confused with this plant.

I request Iswar Barua ji to help with the id of this plant.

Is it Ludwigia perennis L.? If so, are the images at  Ludwigia perennis correctly identified ?

I also request him to pl. comment on other ids, I have marked to him.

Or is it Ludwigia prostrata Roxb. as fruit appears to be 4 angular, although leaves appears to be different from those give in The Genus Ludwigia (Onagraceae) in India by I.C. Barua- Rheedea Vol. 20 (1) 59-70 2010 (pdf available in this efi thread).

Garg Ji,

Can you check for Ludwigia octovalvis?

Posted by me earlier and identified as above by Prashant Ji.

Thanks, Aarti ji, 

I have checked. It is not this species.
