Nymphoides indicum
If you check my collection can find more than 100 medical plants useful in Ayurvedic medicines..!!
I have checked it.. great information! Thanks .. India has so many herbal remedies.
I have to do some more research on this plant.. I am a herbalist and always interested in new plants.
Thanks DanielePralong.. and AshishNimkar..
Great links and info.
Is this a herbal plant in India?
It would seem that Nymphoides indica and Nymphoides indicum are both accepted for this plant according to this research site:

Even though plants can take their name from any language including Greek, the scientific name is expressed in Latin. An ending in "a" indicates a feminine word, one in "um" a neuter word. More at:

Christiane...I marked links for correct Specie name..!!
Medicine related information is mostly accurate..!!
I have one hand guide on Indian plants what is have my suggested specie....!!
Yes I want to tell some websites wrongly spelled specie names gave shortcut in easy names. Take care of accurate specie name that are able to find more information. You have to notice publishers with correct names. Thanks for sharing information. Problem of critical and long Greek Biological names are not easy to remember.
AshishNimkar.. Have the internet spelling is Nymphoides indica and the other is Nymphoides indicum.. My Backyard book spelling is indica.. so I guess it does not matter.
Borz you also accurate, but do not refer wrong spelled specie name from net. must verify correct specie name.
Australia still so an adventure for me.. and I am living since 20 years in this beautiful country!
Christiane, Do you think the hairs protect the plant by filtering sun or holding water? Sometimes I wonder if you are living in a different World. Austrailia has many wondrous things to show us.
