appreciate the salient features photography


Both V. bakeri and V. rigidula have distinctly dentate stipules. Here they are clearly sagittate-hastate and entire. V. tenuifolia may be most likely, V. villosa is another one to consider.


It appear me vicia tenuifolia too.


Thank you for help. I shall consider it V.tenuifolia till I confirm it from Central National Herbarium, Howrah.
