Sir,

Please read it as Ilysanthes parviflora (L.) Benth. (Bengal Plants, vol2. p769), in place of Ilysanthes rotundifolia (L.) Benth.

Thank you,

Hi, Surajit ji,

The Plant List gives Ilysanthes parviflora (L.) Benth., Prodr. 10: 419 1846., as an accepted name.

However others give different author citations:

IUCN Red List (LC)  - Ilysanthes parviflora (Roxb.) Benth. 

Annonated checklist of the flowering plants of Nepal  (Lindernia parviflora (Roxb.) Haines with Ilysanthes parviflora (Roxb.) Benth., Prodr. 10: 419 (1846). as syn.)

Sir,

I fail to reach a satisfactory conclusion right now. "Bengal Plants" has only one species -  Ilysanthes parviflora Benth.; F. B. I. iv. 283 Gratiola parviflora F. I. i. 140

Initially i thought it could be I. rotundifolia, because of this site - http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Lindernia%20rotundifolia/Main.html (source - http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Plants-L.html)

More so because of the illustration found in the pdf - http://www.botanicus.org/page/280327

But, Flora Indica informs - flowers in Gratiola rotundifolia L. are white.

The Plant List is hesitant on G. parviflora - http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2831903 thouhg it suggests that it can be a synonymous with Lindernia parviflora (Roxb.) Haines.

Following efloras seem to support Lindernia parviflora (Roxb.) Haines. -

Thank you,

Surajit ji,i missed the thread.Ur plant in post is  Lindernia parviflora of scrophulariaceae (as per Flora of Orissa by Saxena and Brahmam). I have collected this species growing in moist places near kathajodi river, bhubaneswar and deposited in the  Herbarium of Utkal University.

Good morning Sir

So, the accepted name should be Lindernia parviflora (Roxb.) Haines.

I hope i have understood it correctly.

Regards,

surajit

Dear Garg Sir,

The flowers in this thread are too big (please, see the attached screenshot) for Haines' Lindernia parviflora.

Thank you,

Regards,

Perhaps the confusion lies in the entries of Ilysanthes parviflora Benth. and Ilysanthes rotundifolia Benth.. in Flora of British India, vol4.

Both the entries use a common plate - Roxb. Cor. Pl. 3, t. 204.

The following sites seems to be correct -

• http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Lindernia%20rotundifolia/Main.html (source: http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Plants-L.html)
  
• https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/r0tTOfSaiYmZe_f-V8C5nyuiaeUsozu8ZnjYbLwvv0Q

Thank you
