Photographed from Avantipore monuments in Kashmir in June . Identification required for this Fabaceae member from Ganderal kashmir: 3 high res. images. Trifolium dubium Trifolium dubium from Dalhousie-GSMAY02/02 (google.com)
Also check with T. campestre
T. dubium heads are smaller less than 1 cm long, whereas T. campestre heads are up to 3 cm long and leaves Pinnately trifoliate (unusual for this genus).
I think it looks different from these. Habit images are required, for proper ids.
It may be Medicago laciniata (L.) Mill., as per images and details herein.
Yes it resembles with T.lactinata
