This could be Pseudarthria viscida [Salarpani / Sanapani]. My photographs of this are available at this link


This is not Pseudarthria viscida I am sure. It will be some species of Desmodium. …, I fully agree with your photographs are Pseudarthria viscida as per the link provided.


It is Desmodium tortuosum


Agree with … This is Desmodium tortuosum. I stand corrected.

Seems a species of Desmodium (Fabaceae). Please check with D. tortuosum pics 1 & 3 matches with D. tortuosum but flowers are different.
