Photographed from Botanical Garden, Khalsa College, Delhi Many thanks … for showing Sesbania sesban. In fact I was surprised that day when half the people called that plant as S. sesban and other half S. bispinosa. This tree was cultivated in our botanical garden and we regularly give to our students. It looks like ordinary tree, only it will die after few years. S. bispinosa habit is so different and leaves much more longer. You have to see them personally for not getting confused.
Sharing the images of Sesbania sesban from NBNP Garden, Coimbatore.

Habitat: Garden Additional images of Sesbania sesban from Kanuvai, Coimbatore.
Shrub for ID: SPC-011: … species of Sesbania (family Fabaceae); probably Sesbania sesban. Yes, Sesbania sesban….a soil vitalizing plant… Herbaceous stem indicates S. bispinosa, an aquatic annual herb. S. sesban is a tall (2-3 m) shrub or a small tree with a woody stem. Size of leaf/leaflets and number of leaflets can help confirm the ID. Other keys are if the plant is armed/unarmed and if the pod is twisted/not twisted. Thank you sir for sharing your observations. Looks like Sesbania sesban only….the size of leaflets, the variegated corolla and even the habit is suggestive of S. sesban…

Until then will label the Pirojshanagar sighting with Sesbania ¿ cannabina ? . Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight: Sesbania sesban from Delhi-GSOCT67/72 : 1 post by 1 author. Attachments (2)
