... me too think it to be Lindernia.
Most possibly a species else than L. crustacea.

Familiar with the sepals of L. crustacea -- tube-like, with teeth ... here, they are deeply divided.
Other observations:
... the leaves here have more of serrated margin than what have been seeing in L. crustacea ... dentate.
... the flower size here looks comparatively larger, almost twice that of L. crustacea.

Not sure of morphological variations.

Regards.

To me the true identity is still elusive!!. The calyx of Torenia indica is large and conspicuously winged, not seen in your photographs. May be close up of the flower, especially side view will resolve the issue.

OK, Gurcharan ji ... saw what you mean in Prashant's album at Picasa ... http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/02sbDF5PX2KEK8b7hihvDw
Will wait for more comments to come to resolve ID of this plant.

My closest possible capture is already attached; re-attaching for quick review.

Hi,

Undoubtedly it is Lindernia sp (Scrophulariaceae), although am not
able to reach the species without having the specimen in hand. You
need details of capsules as well for species id.

Giby

Perhaps it would be interesting to know the species of Lindernia reported from the region. Lindernia appears to be the likely choice.

For proper identification of Lindernia species it is importnat to have
description of the capsules and number of stamens. L. crustacea is
quiet common and i am sure this plant is not L. crustacea.

Hi Prof.Singh,
   Would say that Lindernia ciliata is one of the commonest of the species around here. Sending one of my photographs for comparison.
                        With regards,

Pradeshi ji & Neil ji
With L. ciliata out of picture because of its distinctive spine-tipped leaf margin, and comparing with species on FOI website, L. crustacea seems to be the closest call. But we have to keep in mind the opinion of Pardeshi ji who is so familiar with the plants of the area.
