Polygala sp. and most probably P. arvensis of Polygalaceae family.

What about Stylosanthes species?
Can’t see the fringed crest here…..

Agree with … This looks like the Carribean Stylo [Stylosanthes hamatus] to me.

A better eye catches the characters easily.
I erred again, not only the fringed crest, here the leaves are tri-foliate. Sorry for the mistake.
I think I misled myself because of the leaf shape, I guess. Thank you for correcting me.

Stylosanthes hamata (L.) Taub. ?

There seems to be some confusion on ID !

No doubt, yes, it is, dear …  Thank you very much for ID my plant. I think this weed’s seed here comes with wheat grains. I saw another kind of weed seed also with wheat grains. My next request is on this plant, it is only one, rare growing close to Stylosanthes hamata. No wheat cultivation in Kerala, although it is coming from North Indian states.

OK. Please see links I have enclosed !

I will checked all the links and these links also said that my plant is Stylosanthes hamata,

Stylosanthes hamata (L.) Taub

Id is correct as per Keys at Lucid Central;
Also see
https://www.tropicalforages.stylosanthes_hamata.htm
Looks different from images of Stylosanthes guianensis (Aubl.) Sw. at POWO

Images of Stylosanthes hamata and Stylosanthes guianensis in Flora of Peninsular India:
Images of Stylosanthes hamata and Stylosanthes guianensis in Flora of Peninsular India, are not correct.

Pl. see discussions at 173 ID wild plant
Pl. correct/ remove.

I had copied mail to FoPI also !

A small plant with tiny yellow flowers.

Stylosanthes sp. ma’am,
Resembles S. hamata, any more information is there like habit,

This was a tiny plant in the grass on the mountain slope.

This plant was seen close by in the same area.
Is it the same?
