Gurcharan ji ... believing to be some inadvertent slip here ... looks clearly to be some species of Commelina.

Firstly sorry for slip.

I knew it has been identified as Commelina communis, but wanted it confirmed. Sorry this is the only photograph.

There is a slight difference in the flower. Copying the link for
commelina communis.
This should help the botanists.

Hello
I don't think this one is Commelina communis and if it is C. communis then it will be new record for India.
It seems to be Commelina obliqua or Commelina paludosa.

I wonder whether if identified as C. communis, would it be considered as new record for India. The species has been reported from India in Dictionary of economic Products of India ( A Govt. of India Publication), Voigt (Calcutta), Dals. & Gibs. (Bombay), Stewart (Punjab), Aitchinson (Punjab & Sind). Agreed that FBI puts it under doubtful species, there has been considerable research in India, obviously from plants here.
