SK 3019 06 October 2021: 10 very high res. images.
Location: Jumla, West Nepal
Altitude: 2304m.
Date: 17 August 2021
Habit : Wild
Medicago edgeworthii Širj. ???

I think it looks different from images at Medicago edgeworthii Sirj.
To me it may be Trigonella emodi as per keys in Flora of Pakistan, POWO specimens- one, two and GBIF specimens- one, two, and FoC illustration. It has stipules broadly lanceolate, incised as per Flora of China.

Inflorescence looks many flowers in T. emodi.

Check the multiple fruits in your post.

This appears to be the same as in SK 3024 07 October 2021, as stipules appear to be similar.

This is Trigonella gracilis Benth. as per POWO specimen, GBIF specimen- one, two and FoP illustration.

The additional images from nearby spot after a few minutes, may be of the same species.
