How to identify Hyssop Lindernia

- Confirm flower colour: Blue/purple.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: September-April.
- In India, compare location records such as Karnataka.
- Confirm it sits within the Scrophulariaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Hyssop Lindernia.
