Wild plant from Kukke| IDReq 19Nov10AR03: Kumara Parvata forest path, Kukke, Western ghats – I think this represents Crotalaria retusa. It is a highly variable species
Shrub 6 for identification: Crotalaria sp. of Leguminosae family. In Malayalam (in Tamil as well, I guess) it is called Kilukkachedy. The dry fruit while shaking makes nice sound (we use to play around when I was a child). The flowers are not visible hence I may not be able to confirm the id. Your plant looks more like Crotalaria retusa. . Fwd: Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight: Crotalaria retusa from Delhi-GSOCT08/08 : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (5)

Location – Vasai ( Maharashtra) Date – Dec. 2016 It is Crotalaria retusa . Botanical name- खिलखिला in Marathi : 2 posts by 2 authors.
sir can I get botanical name ? – खिलखिला in Marathi
Could be variant of खुळखुळा … a name for some species of Crotalaria like C. retusa, C. verrucosa.
In case I come across खिलखिला, will return to this post. खिलखिला is just a variant of खुळखुळा (rattle toy). It must be arising out of accent / dialect in some place(s). As children, we use to with play with the dry pods and call them Chanbichiya.

near Kas plateau on October 19, 2007 Place: in premises of St Stephen’s Church, Ooty (~ 7428 ft asl), Tamilnadu
Time: November 17, 2011 at 2.18pm Habit: medium-sized bushy shrub Habitat: garden planted Plant: about 6-7 ft high, many branched from base, perhaps pruned, may grow to become a large shrub Flower: quite handsome, about (or over) an inch across … largest of Crotalaria flower seen yet. Seedpod: about 2 – 2.5 inches long X 0.75 – 1 inch wide; this too largest of Crotalaria pod seen yet … may actually serve as a rattletoy. Were the leaf simple? it has stipules at the base OH !! just went by the tell-tale looks of flower and seedpod. I feel it as a species of Crotalaria only. Crotalaria spectabilis is a possibility as this plant shows variations in high altitudes. it does look like a Crotalaria spectabilis oversized in all aspects.– also wondering if it could be some introduced species of Crotalaria. Yes, it seems to be Crotalaria spectabilis Roth (Indian Rattle Box). Please see the website: http://www.floridainvasives.org/Central/rattlebox.pdf It could be that C. spectabilis cultivated as ornamental has variations compared to what is found in wild. Crotalaria retusa as per details herein and as per keys in Flora of Pakistan.
Rattlepod for Id 280911 NS1:
Attached fabaceae member is for Id. Plz identify. Plant Habit- Small tree of abt 9-10 feet. … my strong guess: Crotalaria spectabilis … commonly known as: cats bell, greater rattle pod, showy crotalaria, showy rattlepod • *Hindi*: ghungri, जंगली सन jangli san, jhunjhunia • *Kannada*: kaadu senabu • *Marathi*: डिंगळा dingala, खुळखुळा khulkhula I think … is correct in guessing this plant as *Crotalaria spectabilis *of Leguminosae family. I have a nagging doubt that the leaf shape of Crotalaria spectabilis is obovate and of this species is somehow cuneate. … stressed my guess based on the pod that could be seen in one of your photos.
For kind of width to length ratio of these leaves, slight variance in the shape may show the shape as EITHER cuneate OR obovate … simply my opinion, may not be a correct thought. Here is my sighting of of pod and leaf of C. spectabilis at Mahabaleshwar, 13 JAN 2008 for comparison … pod and leaf in your photos look quite the same.
The other question is: any other Crotalaria close to this species … … seems unlikely. [image: Crotalaria spectabilis] <http://www.google.com/flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fdi…>
