Perhaps this is Tephrosia villosa


Tephrosia villosa is an undershrub sir whereas this plant was prostrate.


… may be that fact (about its growth habit) should be in the introduction,  all facts at the outset will help experts form opinion


Yes it is Tephrosia villosa (L.) Pers with very young fruits.


Isn’t it Tephrosia pumila?


It is Tephrosia pumila only, number leaflet pairs 9 in T. villosa.

Sorry for the confusion

Flora of Panipat: Tephrosia purpurea from Sodhapur Panipat: Tephrosia purpurea from Sodhapur Panipat

This Herb was growing wildly on bank of Western Yamuna Canal
Pls validate


I remember we learned in Jamnagar students garden .. you pull the leaf from its two ends, it separates nicely like a pre-perforated paper … this property was unique to me
did you get to do that… ? and take that pulled apart leaf…


Surely Theprosia, but please once again check with the species. i may be wrong!


This is Tephrosia pumila, I think.


Another way to check whether it is Tephrosia pumila or not is to chew its fresh roots. If it is bitter than roots of Tephrosia purpurea then it must be T. pumila. Don’t worry roots are not toxic. It is used as Dataun in rural India.
White flowered Tephrosia is much valued in Ancient Indian Tantra. If you have faith in it …, I can give information about Vidhi-Vidhan for collection as well as use. 😉


but tephrosia purpurea have purple flower as i seen in Rajasthan.
