This is beautiful, I never seen this petal colour in Indian Commelina kurzii. I believe will wait for capsules and seed before to conclude any. As I said earlier, there may be interesting to visit Nepal. Different colours altogether. Thanks for sharing.

Sincerely

Mayur

Should we keep it as Commelina kurzii C.B.Clarke ?

It is likely to be found in West Nepal as per distribution in POWO.

Both POWO and CoL, consider Commelina kurzii C.B.Clarke as a syn. of Commelina undulata R.Br.

Yes, we will maintain it as Commelina kurzii at this occasion. As C. undulata and C. ensifolia were described originally from Australia and there is ambiguity between them.
