Pointers:

Apex of keel obtuse; calyx lobes narrowly triangular, acuminate; legume minutely hairy; leaflets obtuse to acute or rarely rounded at apex. The plant I saw had both 1 & 3-foliolate leaves.
Fruits 4-6 jointed.

Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight :: FOR GENUS ID – Desmodium / Uraria :: Tungareshwar WLS :: DVOCT128 : 8 posts by 4 authors. 11 images. ¿ Desmodium / Uraria ?
Erect herb, about 40 – 50 cm high, with trifoliate leaves (not sure of dimensions). Hopefully the photos help in getting ID to genus level. The dimensions of flowers are similar to that of Desmodium species (gangeticum / laxiflorum / triquetrum / etc).
at Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary on October 24, 2010 To me it should be Uraria sp. … has given the correct lead. Thank you very much … for leading me to the genus, thanks very much Samir for the seconding and for the most possible ID. Wow… Didn’t thought of it being Uraria…… So much to still learn and explore …, what I like about this post (other than those beautiful flowers so well captured by you) is the fact that you do not accept the identity as U. rufescens. I am far from “accepting / not accepting”. I can do so if I have any knowledge of this plant. I am not familiar with this plant so can only wait for it to be identified by any of those who know/ recognize it. Photographs howsoever clear, beautiful .. are of little use if they lack some of the aspects needed for identification. Under such circumstances, those attempting to identify are driven to think OR guess in interest of resolving the ID. With their thoughts and guesses, people like me are benefited. Otherwise most of our queries would go into cold storage. It is quite charming to see how wild guesses and logical thinking leads to concluding ID. Even if any post gets sealed with a wrong ID, it is bound to arise sometime or other to get corrected. That is the goodness of the group. Thanks to … for sharing his sighting of Uraria rufescens in his recent post, I am convinced that the posted plant is Uraria rufescens.

Date/Time : October 24, 2010 at 9.24am IST Location Place : Tungareshwar Wildlife Sanctuary Altitude : 281 m (above mean sea level) GPS : 19°25’10.45″N, 72°54’37.61″E Habitat : wild, mixed deciduous forest, along mountain road Plant Habit : herb Height : just about a metre Inflorescence Type : terminal racemes (more than one) Size : about 6 – 8 inches Flowers Size : about 8 mm across Colour : lavender (darkens on losing glory) It seems to me more an Alysicarpus species than Desmodium. Thank you very much … did not think of Alysicarpus at all … we will wait for more comments You should also check under the genus Uraria … incidentally, my own thought too is Uraria rufuscens … was hesitant to voice because, normally species of Uraria have dense inflorescence. Many thanks to … for the genus ID and most possible ID of Uraria rufescens – as discussed in newer post of mine. Thanks to … for sharing his sighting of Uraria rufescens in his recent post, I am convinced that the posted plant is Uraria rufescens.

Desmodium concinnum DC. (accepted name) ?? I think appears close as per images at Desmodium concinnum I guessed it to be Desmodium concinnum but I am confused now.

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242317504 It is Desmodiumb laxiflorum I guess it does not look like matching. I think closer to images at Desmodium multiflorum DC. This is Desmodium laxiflorum. Common in eastern Himalaya Thanks, … But images at Desmodium laxiflorum look different, particularly the leaves. No, laxiflorum has wide no of habitat, depending upon the altitude the leaf size varies, but all within the range. It mainly delimited on the basis of inflorescence… Looks more close to D. concinnum according to the altitude and flowering season. But altitude does not match with D. laxiflorum. But your images do not match with images of D. concinuum. Pl. Check. I think close to images at Uraria rufescens (DC.) Schindl. Thank you …! However, elevation given is 700-1000 m, only whereas it is 5000 ft. in this case.
