Seen this climber en-route Mullayangiri (Karnataka),
Date/Time: 25-01-2014 / 11:00AM
Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Climber
Family: Fabaceae

Thanks for sharing very interesting plants dear …

You got a large treasure during this trip.

Yes …, trip was really good, i have few more plants to share.. Thanks..

Any possibility of this to be Spatholobus purpureus……

No chance for Spatholobus.. Its a woody cliber, leaflets are 5 and more; flowers deep purple(almost blue); and the fruits are characteristically winged.

I suspect, some sp. of Dolichos

This is possibly Shuteria involucrata or Amphicarpaea. Most probably it is the former one.

… has rightly brought the ID to Shuteria.

I go for Shuteria vestita Wight & Arn.,which differs from S. involucrata (Wall.) Wight & Arn. in having hairy pods, which is the exact case in … pic.

Unfortunately, bot S. vestita is treated as a synonym for S. involucrata in The Plant List

Thanks … for showing this plant, I was looking for this for long, though I had once collected this from Morni Hills… unfortunately I do not have any pics of the same….

Thanks … and … for resolving the ID…. For me this was my first sighting of this plant.. Thanks again…

Taxonomy of this species seems quite confused.

Sites treating both as a single species:

The Plant List Ver.1.1 & ILDIS

Sites treating both as different species:

GRIN & Flora of China

Which one to follow for our website ?

Dear friends,
Leguminous climber with wiry stem, trifoliate-leaved, leaflets variegated at their mid-veins.
Inflorescence arising from leaf axils, tiny flowers – about 2-3 mm across.

Please check for Shuteria species. Closer to S.involucrata.
S.involucrata in eFI.

Thank you very very much … for the guidance.
