Mat forming spreading herb rooting at nodes

On wet soil, surrounding a pond in Herbal Garden, Delhi, 213 m asl

leaves opposite, 1.5-2 cm long, oblanceolate, somewhat succulent; stipules perhaps glandular

Flowers solitary in axils, about 1 cm across, white with slight pink tinge; stamens 4, in two pairs; corolla with slightly unequal lobes, parted almost half.

The leaves remind of Portulaca, but a gamopetalous member.
