Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week: RVS17: Shuturia vestita: 3 images.
Shuturia vestita from the W.Ghats near Tirunelveli, TN. Sorry for poor pictures…


I am not finding genus Shuturia anywhere. Pl. clarify.

We definitely have a species known as Shuteria vestita….


the accepted name is Shuteria involucrata (Wall.) Wight & Arn., as per The Plant List http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/ild-32630


Taxonomy of this species seems quite confused.
Sites treating both (Shuteria involucrata & Shuturia vestita) as a single species:
The Plant List Ver.1.1 & ILDIS
Sites treating both as different species:
GRIN & Flora of China
Which one to follow for our website ?


But this one looks totally different from Shuteria vestita identified in this thread.


This is not Shuteria. This one is Dumasia villosa.
See the obliquely truncate calyx

Thank you so much for the ID correction.
I think you are right!


…, I had also shared a plant from Gori valley, ultimately identified as Dumasia villosa… I will try to provide link..


Yes it is a frequent climber in temperate Uttarakhand. Common in Valley of Flowers track.

This straggling herb was recorded from Gori Valley area..
Id was concluded as Dumasia villosa..

While scrambling up a slope to photograph a bunch of wild ginger flowers, I stumbled upon this vine climbing on a support cable of an electrical pole. I think this is Dumasia villosa. Please validate.

Superb captures!!!


Yesterday when I went to check on the plant I found one seedpod among blossoming flowers. 2 images.


Very nice for completing the set.


A couple more of the developing seedpods from yesterday (21.9.16). 2 images.

Dear friends,
I have no idea about the posted plant’s family. Most of the photos are cropped versions, to show some aspects closer.
Flowers could be (not very sure) 10 mm across, 25 mm long; the second photo, perhaps shows fruits, could be 8 – 10 mm across.


Thanks to Vijayasankar ji’s post; this plant must be Shuteria vestita Wight & Arn.


Re-commenting … it must be Dumasia villosa DC. as commented by … in Vijayasankar ji’s post.


I agree with Dumasia villosa

Which Fabaceae ??

A Mucuna sp. ?

I guess as species of Mucuna.


Does not look like match with any!
Mucuna


It seems Desmodium

To me looks different from Desmodium 

Certainly species of Desmodium from leaf and pods

Did you see the seeds ?


Dumasia villosa DC. ??


Yes, appears close to images at Dumasia villosa
