Thank you sir, I reviewed the characteristics in Flora of China on Lindernia, I believed it is L. crustacea. I appreciate your help
Lindernia sp. (Lindernaceae) pero opino que no es Lindernia crustacea (L.) F. Muell. = Torenia crustacea (L.) Cham. & Schlecht. . El cáliz es bien diferente.
Definitely not Torenia crustacea (L.) Cham. & Schlecht. (= Lindernia crustacea (L.) F. Muell.). It seems another species different from the genus Lindernia.
I am with José Luis. Definitely not Torenia crustacea (= Lindernia crustaceae). Its fruits are globose (vs. fusiform in photos) and the flowers are usually axillary (vs. disposed in a well defined inflorescence).
It's not Lindernia crustacea
seems to be another genus also because of flower looks like different from Lindernia and actinomorphic also, there is no strong evidence.
need more information for correct ID.
L. crustacea has axillary, solitary flowers also because
looks different.
