This work revised the lacking of taxonomic characters and the population status of this species which investigated from four major wetlands, (i.e., Chilika lagoon, Ansupa lake, Kanjia lake and Deras dam) of Odisha state, India. In field condition, the plant can be easily identified from other close relative species by their heterophilic leaf (i.e., polymerous submerged leaf and whorled or opposite sessile aerial dichotomous leaves), pedicellate flowers arranged in spikes, tubular or funnel-shaped pubescent petals with a bluish- violet tinge, didynamous stamen and fruits of ellipsoidal to globose capsule with numerous seed. Past studies reported it as a common weed in rice fields but lacked its distribution and existing population in any wetland where it had been recorded. Our field observation recorded the species is of rare and under threat for its existence in major wetlands of Odisha.
