some views: Oct 19, 2008 … at Vaghbil, Thane, Maharashtra Sep 23, 2007 … at Phirojshahnagar, Mumbai
Nov 27, 2009 … at Vaghbil, Thane, Maharashtra I doubt it to be Sesbania sesban, which never has more than 40-50 leaflets. The second and third photographs I fear belong to S. bispinosa. Please disregard my initial post in this thread showing posted plants as Sesbania sesban. They should be S. bispinosa.
You may take a look at efi thread where … has posted S. sesban. Many thanks …, for pointing to the wrong identification in this thread.
Name of the species: Sesbania bispinosa Syn. S. aculeata Syn. Coronilla aculeata)
Family: Fabaceae
Place of collection: Ranpur, Nayagarh, Orissa
Habit: Herb, under shrub (1 to 3 m tall)
Habitat: Wild, in boundary of rice field
Altitude: 200 to 400 m above msl
Though already shared by … on the earlier post, i am attaching the close up of the flowers to share in the group.

Photographed from Vikas Puri, New Delhi Nicely depicted aculeate nature of the plant. Often these spines are noticed only on touching the plant.
A shrub observed near Pune 3-4feet high.
Compound leaves and yellow flowered racemes for ID Sesbania species? Yes, it is Sesbania species. I hope Sesbania bispinosa Closeup of the plant may help, although looks like S bispinosa

This is widely cultivated species of Sesbania in our area, recommended and sold by Govt. agencies to be sown in gap between “Rabi” and “Kharif”
I think this is Sesbania bispinosa (?) though prickles are not conspicuous….

Please validate the id of this wild plant growing in wet places..
Sesbania bispinosa ? The specimen confirms with Sesbania bispinosa
Wild Plant For ID : Bangalore : 01DEC16 : AK-1 : 5 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)
Wild plant seen in the first week of Nov, growing near a lake. Seems to be from the Fabaceae family.
Very tiny yellow flowers.
Its Sesbania bispinosa Thank you for the id.
…, would this be the same plant? Seen today in Muscat. Attachments (1) This is an old thread but today evening I had gone to the (Juhu) beach, Mumbai, for a walk and saw a clump of these plants / shrubs on the beach.
I don’t have quality images so not posting them (will go again and photograph them).
My query is ‘Do these grow commonly on sandy beaches also?’ Sesbania bispinosa Yes …, your old post got me thinking wrt habitat.
… the query is about habitat, identification was never in doubt.
In fact, I have just returned from the beach again and have photographed the plant, except flower bloom, for which I will go again to complete my set.
I noted that the S. bispinosa along with a host of grasses, weeds, creepers were growing there.
However, the S. bispinosa clumps were exactly at the spot where some building / construction material had been dumped. So there was a mix of sand and construction material (‘rabit’ is what we call it).
Will post pictures later after downloading and processing them.
for ID(ID-DKB133) Photo Taken on-16.9.2007 … perhaps some Sesbania species ? May be Sesbania sesban as link: I think it should be Sesbania bispinosa (Jacq.) W.Wight due to prickle on the stem.
Flora of Haryana: Sesbania bispinosa from a field of village Khubru Sonipat Haryana (225 Mts):
Sesbania bispinosa from a field of village Khubru Sonipat Haryana (225 Mts) Wild growing upto height of 6 feet
It is Sesbania sp. ? coming under Fabaceae Yes sesbania. Close up needed for species fixation, guess it to be S. sesban Sesbania sesban attaching more pics for ID confirmation Sesbania seban is a medium sized, multi-branched tree. Here this doesn’t loos like S. seban. Sesbania bispinosa i think I also think Sesbania seban My point is that if the habit of this plant is (small) tree it would be woody and perennial. The given plant doesn’t look very woody (as that of a tree) and branched (S. seban is a much branched plant whether it is small shrub or tree) Further, I am not sure whether the given plant is perennial or not (doesn’t look so). Further, in Sesbania bispinosa, the pod is narrow and linear (thread like) whereas Sesbania seban the pod is little thicker and bulged as seeds matures.
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242348734Please refer the illustrations therein.
this is called Jayanti in bangla… … Sesbania sesban would be it… common in south 24 paraganas… The habit can often be misleading in genera like Sesbania and Aeschynomene, but what can’t be confused in this genus is the number of leaflets. Sesbania sesban never has more than 50 leaflets, and S. bispinosa never less than 40-50. This plant leaflet number is easily more than 60 . As such it should be S. bispinosa. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242348734
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=220012452 I stand corrected…

This i believe is Aeschynomene indica. This was seen in plenty by the roadside near Khalapur, MH in Aug 2019. The plants were around 1 m. in height.
However, no flowering or fruiting was seen.
No, It’s not Aeschynomene …, Sesbania bispinosa only, I think, I forgot to attach pics. Here they are.

Does look like it. Today I saw a huge colony of the same in afternoon ………. about 2 feet tall plants, flowering stage, no fruit yet ……… may be you were early by a few days. . Goa, August 2021 :: Sesbania for ID :: ARK2021-112: 3 images. This was clicked at Cabo de Rama for in Goa in August 2021.
Can this be identified, is it some Sesbania? They were very tall.
Requested to please ID. Sesbania bispinosa, Thank you … for the ID. Thanks, …, for the id.

You may check these for further confirmation.

Validating is going to be challenging. The photos are low-res. Cannot see the presence of the sparse minute spines.
Earlier uploaded at efloraofindia. For me the ID is correct. This plant is seen near the water body in the lake area near me, Mysore. Yes ! .
