PLANT FOR ID 105 SMP JUN 09 Lahaul- Spiti:
These small Fabaceae members were seen frequently in Lahaul Spiti valley. It is very difficult to pin point on the species.
Some experts may comment on this one….
Caragana/Astragalus/ Chesneya or something else?
I have some other snaps with different characters which I would post separately.


A better view of leaves should help. Could be Lotus corniculatus but more photographs should help

Lotus corniculatus L. or Lotus corniculatus var. japonicus Regel ??

FoC has it:

Then, OK.
