Garg Sir, First we have to decide if those flowers in this thread can be a *Limnophila * species. I think it can be. A google search for "limnophila flowers" shows similar looking flowers, an example - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/103353/#b.
If it is a *Limnophila* sp., it is certainly *Limnophila diffusa* Benth. as per "Bengal Plants" key<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/dr8_J99SGAM/discussion> and distribution. GRIN, The Plant List, FoC or FoP may not recognize it, IUCN does<http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/199705/0>!!! So, does the "Bengal Plants" or "Flora of British India".
