Description

Limnophila hippuridoides is a marshweed native to the Malayan peninsula (Malakka) and has been mislabeled as "Limnophila aromatica", "L. aromaticoides", "L. hippuroides" (incorrectly written), and even "Gratiola officinalis" (a different species). It is closely related to L. aromatica and L. aromaticoides, differing mainly in flower and fruit characteristics, as well as its submersed forms.
