Teramnus labialis (L.f.) Spreng. (Syn: Glycine labialis L.; Glycine parviflora Zollinger ex Miq.; Kennedya arabica Hochst. ex Benth.; Kennedya arabica Benth. [Spelling variant]; Bujacia gampsonychia E.Mey.; Glycine abyssinica A.Rich.; Glycine debilis Aiton; Glycine debilis [Dryander in] Aiton; Glycine gampsonychia (E.Mey.) Walp.; Glycine meyeri Benth.; Glycine parviflora Lam.; Glycine pentandra Spreng.; Glycine subonensis Hayata; Glycine warreensis Dalzell; Teramnus angustifolius Merr.; Teramnus axilliflorus sensu Hauman; Teramnus debilis (Aiton) Prain; Teramnus labialis “sensu Hauman, p.p.”; Teramnus labialis sensu Baker; Teramnus parviflorus (Lam.) Spreng.; Teramnus repens “sensu Hauman, p.p.”); Different books and efloras give different and contradicting keys, which are not actually correct on all accounts: Book image in the Flora of Peninsular India gives, two sets of keys, out of which first set (based on calyx) may not be correct. Keys in 2nd set are below:
Leaflets ovate, acute, nearly glabrous, racemes very slender, near glabrous, pod glabrous- Teramnus labialis
Leaflets ovate- lanceolate, acute, strigosely hairy, racemes slender, villous with spreading hairs, pod villous- Teramnus mollis
.
I found the following entries in the “Bengal Plants”, on Teramnus species :-
(i) leaflets small, acute or sub-obtuse; racemes elongated, usually stalked. Leaflets membranous, sparsely hirsute; calyx teeth as long as tube —– T. labialis Spreng. (a slender twining species in all provinces).
(ii) leaflets small, acute or sub-obtuse; racemes elongated, usually stalked. Leaflets sub-coriaceous, densely pubescent beneath; calyx teeth shorter than tube —– T. debilis Prain (Syn. of Teramnus mollis Benth.) (a slender twining species in C. & E, Bengal).
(iii) leaflets large, acuminate or acute; racemes congested, sessile; calyx teeth shorter than tube —– T. flexilis Benth. (a rather robust twining species in Sundribuns and Chittagong).
.
In another common species Teramnus labialis have glabrous pods, while they are hairy in Teramnus mollis;

Yes it is Teramnus labialis, a climber widespresd in plains of India. thanks for good photo and identification its classically known as mas-parni or mashaparni or ban-urad
trifol fab tiny flr Hooghly 25-01-13 sk : Species : UNKNOWN
H & H : slim twiner beside a pond, seems to be not ornamental or planted

Place : Hooghly Seems to me Teramnus volubilis! Thank you very much Sir for the probable ID, found similar image at – http://www.flickr.com/photostream/. Teramnus volubilis seems to be is restricted to the Americas as per the following links:
Is it cultivated in India ?

So, this species seems to be the T. labialis Spreng.
I thank all, specially … for introducing me to this genus.
I believe … is now able to resolve the identity.

Teramnus labialis ? : 5 posts by 5 authors. 8 images.
Presenting, what I think is Teramnus labialis, for deliberation. 29 10 2019, rural Surat. Gujarat .
This species has less hairs, leaflets relatively larger, pods longer and straight, tip beaked and pointing sideways.
Calyx teeth are definitely not shorter than calyx tube.
This is how leaflets lie in sun !
Hairs present, not too much !
Lax raceme
Tiny flower
Calyx !!!
Straight flat long pods …almost no hairs
Older pods.
I hope you’re right …, I too collected this from Gujarat, Yes, it is Termanus labialis Yes, I also agree.
Please identify tiny purple flower : 5 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1)- 1 mb. Teramnus sp. I agree with … Thanks, …, for the genus id.
It may be Teramnus labialis as per comparative images at Teramnus
