Pachmarhi … about 3600 feet ft asl
Date / Time: 18 SEP 13 at 13:29 PM … Altitude: about 3670 ft asl
¿ Flemingia macrophylla ? … (family: Fabaceae)
Habit: sub-shrub, standing about 1m
Habitat: mixed deciduous forest The flower about 10 – 12 mm across. I have a strong feeling this plant must be Flemingia macrophylla; please validate.
Nice shots … Yes it looks like Flemingia macrophylla To me the identification seems okay.. very beautiful pictures Pls confirm if leaves were 15- 25 cm long. Thank you very much … for the ID: Flemingia macrophylla
… the trifoliate leaf is about 12 – 15 cm … please let me know your thoughts. Many thanks … for the appreciation.
On going through Flowers of India, I found one plant quite similar to mine – Winged-Stalk Flemingia – Flemingia semialata
And then going through three floras – there seems to different treatments for Flemingia semialata
Flora of China … Flemingia macrophylla (Willdenow) Prain … there is no mention of Flemingia semialata
Flora of Pakistan … Flemingia semialata Roxb. ex Aiton
Annotated Checklist of the Flowering Plants of Nepal … Flemingia semialata Roxb. … syn. of Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.) Merr. GRIn gives Flemingia semialata Roxb. as a valid name, while The Plant List gives it as a syn. of Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.) Merr.
Embryology and Apomixis in Grasses By T. Pullaiah, G. N. V. Febulaus (2000) treat them as separate.
Other links: Kisan Mela-cum-AgriExpo organised at KVK-II, Sitapur & Intensive kusmi lac production on Flemingia semialata
In view we may take them as different species.
Also see another thread from …: Flora of Chakrata- Flemingia semialata from Tiger fall route – Google … … has sent me the key to check what agrees with my plant …………… …, I want to know if you can see (and also show) these key features in your plant that lead to ID as F. semialata. ….
The key goes as
Leaves 3 foliolate
Erect shrubs
Flowers in axillary racemes
Calyx with a distinct tube
Racemes branched, longer than petiole, petioles winged… F. semialata ………………………………………………..
My plant, I find the petiole is winged, inflorescence is branched, clearly longer than the petiole – thus, F. semialata.
I believe … post also has F. semialata. It shows winged petiole, branched raceme longer than petiole.
Please validate the ID. I hope this is Flemingia semialata, shot from Trekking route to tiger fall on September 18, 2011. Nearly a shrub, it was bearing inflated pods. May be reviewed in view of another thread. Further replies from the some other thread:

Sharing some pictures for ID shot at Gurje Bhanjyang, Nepal on 27 August 2016 at 6000 ft.
Flemingia semialata (Fabaceae) to me. Thank you for the ID … Sir! Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.) Merr. (accepted name) Flemingia semialata Roxb. ?? Yes May I have your opinion on this ? Flemingia semialata W.T.Aiton has got no distribution in Nepal so far. Flemingia semialata as per POWO is found in Nepal too. Following is a specimen from Nepal: That is to be explored. The specimen does not give the exact location of Nepal. This is Flemingia semialata Roxb. ex W.T.Aiton as already identified by … sir and … Any idea this sp. having distribution in Nepal? I could not find.

Habitat : Wild Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.) Kuntze ex Merr. May I request you to post high res. image of the close up (1st image) as I feel calyx is eglandular, so it may be Flemingia semialata 2 high res. images. Yes, Flemingia semialata .
Flemingia semialata Roxb. Yes, it is dear …, thank you very much for ID my plant, . I’d of a legume: 3 high res. images. Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.) Kuntze ex Merr. Pl. post high res. image of the flowers to check if the calyx is glandular or not. at present I do not have high resolution images. I will post them once I take such images. I will keep it as Flemingia semialata, for the time being without seeing the glandular nature of the calyx.

Location: Chobhar, Kathmandu
Date: 14 September 2019
Elevation: 1401 m.
Habit : Wild yes Flemingia semialata Roxb. ?? Flemingia macrophylla as calyx in glandular. This should be Flemingia semialata. Please note raceme is longer than the leaf petiole (sometimes branched), petiole is winged and seeds are shiny black. Only POWO and The Wallich catalogue has got its mention. Even Nepali publications and the link about Flemingia
you have sent earlier also have got no mention for Nepal. So what do you say about this for Nepal
Sending some herbarium images from the Nepal Herbarium for your perusal please.
Some look not macrophyll!

http://plantdatabase.kath.gov.np/plants/flemingia-macrophylla-willd-merr-kath028155 You are right. I think this species is overlooked by the authors of these publications. While in paper I shared earlier the main focus was on Taxonomic revision of the genus Flemingia Any suggestion for these specimens? Earlier we were separating these two species based on the glandular nature of the calyx.
But after through, I find in both species it is glandular.
So we have to separate these species based on this publication which states:
Flemingia macrophylla shows affinities towards F. semialata, F. sootepensis and F. latifolia but differs from them in having racemes shorter than the petiole, grooved petiole and large ovate-lanceolate leaflets. And keys are: 5. Racemes longer than the petiole; petiole winged ……………. 6
5. Racemes shorter than the petiole; petiole grooved ………… F. macrophylla
6. Pod sparsely gland-dotted ……….. 7
6. Pod densely gland-dotted ………….. F. sootepensis
7. Stipules, bracts and calyx grey tomentose, leaflets narrow-ovate-elliptic ……. F. semialata
I have to review all earlier observations in our site based on these keys. These are as per Taxonomic revision of the genus Flemingia (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) in India November 2020 Webbia 75(2):141-218
