Thanks Mayur for the identification. Looks like I was on the right
track - I was searching for some name like Murdannia reticulata
(reticulata means net-veined) - but no such species exists! :-)
striatipetala means, having striped petals.
  I have sent a query to the photographer - will post when she
responds.
   Cheers!
