This species is not Rotala floribunda but R. densiflora. Rotala floribunda is endemic to Mahabaleshwar Hills of Pune and is a somewhat large, branched herb with hetrostyly and without calyx appendages. Here we can make out rhe calx appendages from the photograph itself.

Some earlier relevant feedback: Dear Shubhada, not certain whether this plant is indeed *R. floribunda* as you have put. Referring Shrikant ji's FOS pg 176, the illustration looks different. Comments from friends welcome for validation of the posted plant's ID. Regards. Dinesh This *looks like Rotala densiflora*. Regards, Shrikant Ingalhalikar THE PLANT HAS *MUCH RESEMBLENCE TO **Rotala floribunda..* but to be checked for its bifid stigma... ..Anyhow.. if its R.floribunda... present collection may be its extended distribution as it was confined to Mahableshwar hills , and above 1500 msl...- from Gurumurthi ji. thanx for ur reply and add. info. i am sorry my pics are not clear to confirm the bifid stigma. i checked my other pics too.
