Something really interesting Garg ji, Actually my earlier feedback was too rough. But now I feel this could be a something interesting one. First I thought it may be a *Commelina coelestis *Willd. [=*C. tuberosa*] but in *coelestis *spathe is on long peduncle and ciliate at margins, more rounded in shape, leaves are also ovate, it is also in India but its ornamental one and I have collection of It from Ooty, it is planted for its beautiful flowers. In result, posted plant is not *C. coelestis*. One more possibility is there, of *C. dianthifolia *Deille, but it is Mexican plant never documented before in India. And if it is true then it could be a new addition to Indian flora. But for that you have to observe the capsule and seed along with the roots (either they are tuberous or not). But I strongly feel this could be a *C. dianthifolia*. If possible will you please check above mentioned characters. Thank you. Your efforts is always crucial for Indian flora and I am obliged that I am a part of this eFlora family. * *
