Dear Garg ji,

It is more close to M. Paucifolia because it's purple stem and Thattekad is only 15km from here, with kind regards, Sam.

Thanks  Sam ji for the final ID !

[J.M. Garg]

Hi, Mayur ji,

Is the id correct as Murdannia pauciflora (G.Brückn.) G.Brückn. ?

Or is it Murdannia crocea subsp. ochracea (Dalzell) Faden ?

[mayur nandikar]

This is not Murdannia ochracea. Perhaps very close to Murdannia satheeshiana or pauciflora! Please confirm. 

[Sam Kuzhalanattu]

Yes, it is more close to Murdannia satheeshiana dear Mayur ji, with kind regards, Sam.

[J.M. Garg]

As the seeds are available in the post, is it possible to see the publication on personal mail?

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for the mail. As per the photographs, description and location, the specimen is Murdannia pauciflora.  The photograph of the seed looks like Murdannia pauciflora. M.satheeshina is a small herb upto 10 cm height with relatively smaller flowers collected from the shola-grassland of Mathikettan Shola National Park, Idukki. So far it is not reported from other places. For a detailed description of M. satheeshiana, please refer to the attached pdf and kindly compare with it. 

Thank you.
