Lindernia
Genus of flowering plants
The genus Lindernia is a group of plants in the family Linderniaceae. They are native to warm regions in both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere.[1]
The genus name of Lindernia is in honour of Franz Balthasar von Lindern (1682–1755), French doctor and botanist in Strasbourg and also university botanical garden director.[2]
Lindernia consists of 30 species in its most recent circumscription.[3] Some species have become available commercially for use in home aquariums and aquascaping, such as L. rotundifolia.[4]
