vigna radiata for confirmation :
vigna radiata or wild moong for confirmation
growing commonly and profuselly along paddyfields, in grass and on roadsides
this past week in alibaug

… with … thought; my belief too: Vigna radiata (family Fabaceae).
It will be helpful if some one of our friends put some clarification related to at least these three species found distributed in northern Western Ghats:
1) Vigna radiata (L.) R.Wilczek … surprisingly does not find its entry in Shrikant ji’s FOS or FFOS
2) Vigna sublobata (Roxb.) Babu & S.K.Sharma … synonym of Vigna radiata var. setulosa (Dalzell) Ohwi & Ohashi
3) Vigna trilobata (L.) Verdc.

Flower ID request – RK3 – 10-Oct-201​2:
This flower also frequently encountered in Karjat area, this herb had a twining habit if I am not mistaken.

This is Wild Moong [Vigna radiata].

OR some other species of Vigna.

I think it is close to images at

Pl. also see the attachment.

I had never paid attention to stipules in Vigna plants.
In this observation, the large striking stipules caught my attention – and since there was no flowering – fruiting, I was not able to ID.
I will label it as Vigna radiata (L.) R.Wilczek
Will wait to know Radha’s thoughts.
Though there are stipules of 4 species (including Vigna stipulacea) illustrated in the attachment; however, the leaflets in each case are lobed, thus I am ruling out V. stipulacea.

I agree these stipules seem unusually large for V. radiata and the leaves are not lobed but I can’t find any other match.  Will try to find more documentation.

Pl. see such large stipules at

I have revised my notes at flickr and iNaturalist.

Another upload of a similar plant at eFI.
Mix of climbers in this observation, Vigna radiata (L.) R.Wilczek. whose leaves are seen all over, also a pod (blurred)

Yes !

… has suggested Vigna radiata … https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/cAgAJ
Other than vibrant colour of stipule, other characters seem to match well with Vigna radiata.
In Vigna stipulacea, the leaflets, I think, are normally lobed.

OK

Yes, it is

I have already revised my notes at iNaturalist and flickr about a week back to Vigna radiata (L.) R.Wilczek
