Bonnaya antipoda is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to Linderniaceae family. It is native to tropical and sub-tropical Asia and Australia. [3][4]
Description[edit]
It is a prostrate or diffuse herb usually rooting at nodes. Sub-sessile, hairless leaves are elliptic or obovoid. Solitary pale blue flowers have a yellow mouth. August to October is the flowering and fruiting season.[3][4] In Australia this species is confined to northeastern Queensland. Flowering there occurs through much of the year, with a peak of activity around April and May (statistics from iNaturalist based on 18 observations in Australia as at 17 April 2024).[5]
