*Limnophila indica* is the accepted name as per the plant List and *L. gratioloides* is a synonym. I had posted similar plant from Pune which was also IDed as L. indica. I was checking the key for Limnophila. Limnophila aquatica and Limnophila indica are very close species.
Stems 1-2; corolla 1-2 cm long or more ... ... ... ... *L.aquatica* Stems 3-8; corolla 0.5-1 cm long ... ... ... ... ... ... ..*L.indica* Further in the description of aerial leaves: those of L.aquatica are opposite or 3-4 verticillate .which is the finding here. Can it be *L.aquatica* then?? Size wise this as well as my plant is more likely to be *L.indica* though.
