Then I switch off the flash and tried that it worked. The previous picture (_GIB9763) is a shot when flash is on! Tephrosia tinctoria has really heavenly coloured flowers….

tink-TOR-ee-uh — indicates a plant used in dyeing or has a sap which can stain Dec 20, 2008 … at Sangameshwar, Maharashtra I love the meanings written in the texts. They are so informative. Nice photograph, but it look some different species of Tephrosia, not T. tinctoria,, read description in Cooke’s flora, flower pink and leaflets are more in number than in photo. The flower colour and throat of matches with the following and all other photographs on net The number of leaflets can varry any thing from 3-13
… it would be more useful if you could indicate species in mind. sirji, yes i am also trying to find out the species, but it look interesting, you know that its very hard to identify the species when there are similar looking many species in the same genus, almost with same characters, differs in minute characters…. .
