Hello Mr. Garg, 

I had some doubts regarding the identification of Indotristicha ramosissima here.

As per the species description (genus key, description) Indotristicha is filiform, free floating and attached to rocks. The plate diagram also shows the morphology. Please refer to the attached document on Podostemaceae in Kerala by Mathew and Satheesh, 1997 pg 247. 

The images here have zygomorphic flowers and so cannot be Indotristicha ramosissima. The same error in ID seems to have been validated at FOI as well.

Please find attached, images of Indotristicha ramosissima from rivers (Kumaradhara) in Dakshin Kannada. Would be curious to know what others think. Please let me know.

Hello, 

Thanks for the responses. I am still unclear why the identification is disputed. The description in the cited literature seems to match.
