Desmodium elegans

Desmodium elegans I hope

Thanks … So my guess of Desmodium was right?

I am doubtful whether fruit and flower are belonging to the same plant, fruit is Desmodium like.

I think this is Desmodium elegans …

Desmodium sp.? ABSEP2016/41 : 5 posts by 4 authors. 4 images.
Before seeing the flowers, I had assumed that this small tree was a Butea sp. Now the flowers point to a Desmodium sp. The leaves are large, the terminal leaflet about 6-7cm long. I know some Desmodiums have shrub-like habits. Could this be one? Please advise.
Near Mcleodganj, HP 1800m 21-22 September 2016

I think Desmodium elegans..

Thank you … After your email I researched a bit more and found that the plant indeed can grow above six feet in height and has large leaves. I will keep watch for the seedpods and compare it with the other Desmodium here (small shrubs in habit).

It seems to be a legume, perhaps Desmodium sp.

Pl. Check for Desmodium elegans. Attaching the photographs taken at way to Valley of Flowers i.e. Govindghat to Ghangharia in 2008. Attachments (1)

I knew it was Desmodium when I saw your photographs but was not sure about  the species. I may identify with surety when I am back to India, but tentatively It may be D. elegans

Or perhaps more closely D. multiflorum

I think close to images at Desmodium elegans DC. 

A fabaceae member. Beautiful images.

Yes, I guess so !

To me also appear close as per images at as per first glance
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a—l/f/fabaceae/desmodium/desmodium-elegans-1

guess its correct.

.

I think it is close to the images at Desmodium elegans DC.

I guess this is Hylodesmum williamsii (H.Ohashi) H.Ohashi & R.R.Mill Syn : Desmodium williamsii H.Ohashi !

I do not think so.

I am still confused about the ID. Please have a look at the following links:
