|discussion=<p>In Asia, <i>Lindernia dubia</i> is considered a noxious weed in rice paddies, where it has become resistant to some commonly used herbicides.</p><!--
--><p><i>Lindernia dubia</i> shows extreme morphological plasticity, especially in vegetative characters. This has led to the naming of species and varieties that have been accepted or not in recent treatments (for example, D. Q. Lewis 2000). B. A. Berger (2005) examined variation within the <i>L. dubia</i> complex and concluded that the recognition of these taxa is unwarranted.</p><!--
--><p>Variety inundata, an estuarine form from the intertidal zone along the Atlantic Coast, continues to be recognized in several databases. However, W. R. Ferren Jr. and A. E. Schuyler (1980) described the clinal variation in these intertidal populations, ranging from typical <i>Lindernia dubia</i> to this form, with such variation sometimes evident on submerged and emergent parts of the same plant.</p>
