   is it Medicago sp??can anyone tell me plz : 10 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (3)
its my thesis plant. need its identification plzz… atleast at genus level… from Lahore Pakistan I think it can be Medicago, but may have other probability which I do not know. Please check probability of M. polymorpha L. Can you send the photographs of the fresh plant with close ups of leaves (dorsal and ventral) and other parts depicting the characters including the flowers to help ID the plant by the flora members. thank u, i will check.. no i have no more photographs of this plant 🙁 Medicago monantha Please note petiole length If you search Medicago truncatula you will find similar long petioled image. But the species have different leaflets and distribution. One point is young plants of any family often have different leaf character than the mature one. It is important to check stipules and number of lateral nerves, if you have the herbarium, to determine species.

This is a herb from Panipat..
Please suggest id.. Medicago species so far in efi Please check if Medicago orthoceras (Kar. & Kir.) Trautv. can be found in India or that region. have nothing to add, except To me also it appears close as per illustration at plantgenera As per book link (2011), collections from India assigned to M. orthoceras (which see) appear to be M. polyceratia, but I have not identified them as latter species, as additional study is necessary. Pl. see high resolution herbarium specimen at
nhm (low resolution)
Doubtful ID. Could be any other species as well. Please check for Trigonella species. T. monantha/ T. incisa etc. Flora of Pakistan will be helpful. In continuation of my previous mail, I wish to state that the flowers have a resemblance to Trigonella. Could it be any wild species of Trigonella ? The three suggested species are closely related and were in fact placed under the same species Trigonella polycerata L. in FBI, which is now considered a different species and Indian wrongly applied to Indian plants. More so all three, formerly under Trigonella are now placed under Medicago, M. incisa merged with M. monantha. M. monantha differs in longer fruit (4-10 cm long) as against less than 3 cm in M. orthoceras (2-3 cm). On that count M. monantha looks better ID.
