Murdannia
Murdannia is a genus of annual or perennial flowering plants in the spiderwort family, found mostly in warm tropical and subtropical areas, with some species semi-aquatic. Grown in gardens are mainly the wetland species, such as Murdannia keisak and M. nudiflora, which like moist to wet, sunny soils.
Murdannia is a genus of annual or perennial monocotyledonous flowering plants in the family Commelinaceae.
The genus is one of the largest in the family. They are most easily distinguished from other genera in the family by their three-lobed or spear-shaped antherodes (i.e. non-functional anthers). Also it is the only genus with staminodes (i.e. non-functional stamens) opposite the petals.
