Garg Ji *Lindernia ruellioides* (Colsm.) Pennell is well known from Uttarakhand. It is mentioned in "Flowering Plants of Uttarakhand A Checklist" by Uniyal et al. 2007 at page 187. Even earlier to this it was reported from Dehradun by Raizada (1976) in his document "Supplement to Duthie's Flora of the Upper Gangetic Plain and of the Adjacent Siwalik and Sub-Himalayan Tracts" (page185-186) and also by Babu (1977) in his document "Herbaceous Flora of Dehradun" (page 356-357). Unfortunately all three documents mentioned here are not available on web due to which IUCN document does not mentioned its distribution in Uttarakhand. It is not mentioned in Pennell's document because it was not there in the book available on web, it was mentioned in another publication of Pennell in 1944, obviously one year after publication of Scrophulariaceae of Western Himalaya. I identified its specimens personally with the help of keys given in Babu (1977), a reliable resource in my opinion. My ID may be wrong/ doubtful and thus opinion of other experts will be helpful. After your critical observations and comparison with other web sources I am now in doubt too particularly by comparing it with the diagrams given in Flora of China where leaves look different. Thank you for your doubts which will lead to correct ID. Let the experts to decide. DSRawat Pantnagar
