Description of *L. heterophylla* in 1) F. B. I. iv. 270. and 2) Bengal Plants ii. 763. informs :- - stem always glabrous - uppermost leaves (the 2 uppermost) usually opposite, ... the next below 4-6 nately whorled pinnate, the lowest submerged long capillaceo-multifid I think my species lacks the above features. Description of *L. heterophylla* in FoC<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200020697>states :- - aerial stem with sessile glands or pilose or nearly smooth and glabrous..... - (in) rice-fields, brackish water.... I am not sure if my species is pilose or hirsute, the later being a feature of *L. cana* * * There is a post of *L. heterophylla* in our group - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/veCSBUpgrqw/discussion, but in *L. heterophylla* flowers are sessile<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/7Yl1XueaIf8/discussion>or subsessile.
