While most self-respecting Desmodium congestums generally flower & fruit between September and October, this one probably a straggler flowered only in November and fruited in December….hence the confusion.
Sending a few photographs. Look like Desmodium congestum I find two species with the same name as per link (http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/search?q=Desmodium+congestum+):
Which one is the posted species ? It does not look like Leptodesmia congesta Baker (= Desmodium congestum (Wight) Benth., Nicolsonia congesta Wight), which is illustrated at plantillustrations
It is also not Desmodium congestum Wight & Arn. (= Dendrolobium triangulare (Retz.) Schindl.), as per the diagram at plantillustrations So I guess the ID is still unresolved?! The inflorescence doesn’t look like ‘congested’. To me it somewhat resembles D. heterocarpon but not sure. I agree with … It matches with images at Desmodium heterocarpon (L.) DC.

Sharing some pictures for ID shot at Pashupati Forest Kathmandu Nepal today (17.10.16) at 4400 ft. Desmodium species, may be D. heterocarpon Desmodium multiflorum DC. ?? Legume shape size is completely different from D. microphyllum ! Small size of leaflets is creating doubts about D. multiflorum:
Shrubs, erect, 1-2 m tall, yellow to white pubescent, becoming glabrescent. Leaves 3-foliolate; petiole 1.5-4 cm, densely tomentose; terminal leaflet blade elliptic or obovate, 5-10 × 3-6 cm, base cuneate or nearly rounded, apex obtuse or acute, mucronate.
As per Flora of Pakistan:
Erect shrub, branches grey silky. Leaf trifoliolate, petiole 2.5-6.5 cm long, leaflets 7.5-10 cm long, c. 5 cm broad, ovate or obovate, rounded at both ends, mucronate, glabrescent above, densely appressed hairy below; stipules c. 7.5 mm long.

yes and very nice. I have always wondered when see these fabaceae plants, do local animals eat them? or local people do something with their seeds?
Root powder taken to relieve hyper acidity and its juice cures peptic ulcer. No other usage as such. that’s a lot. very useful to the ethnic people in the hills then Yes indeed. I think Desmodium concinnum DC.
Going by the habit, it may rather appears to be more closer to Desmodium heterocarpon (L.) DC.
