Tephrosia species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)


It could be either Tephrosia villosa or T. hookeriana.


Images of T. hookeriana fruit at Kerala plants look different, while appears closer to images of Tephrosia villosa


Tephrosia purpurea (Linn.) Pers. Fabaceae (Faboideae)


Thanks, …. But fruits of Tephrosia purpurea look different. Pl. see images at Tephrosia purpurea
