Habitat & location: Rare. Found in the hillside area. Photographed at N.Konda. Rhynchosia for ID: The first set is of Rhynchosia rothii, I think. Yes first one is Rhynchosia rothii in my opinion also Rhynchosia rothii Benth. ex Aitch. You see the fruit which is like Glycine max L.(soybean) and Cajanus, Atylosia cajanifolia as the wild relatives of PigeonPea. It is an impornt genetic resoursce already mentioned by D.C.S,Raju,et al in3-4 papers including Pigeon-Pea workshopat ICRISATattended by Raju and Thothatri Rhynchosia viscosa (Roth) DC. as per images herein. It is Rhynchosia rothii; Rhynchosia viscosa is closely related to R.rothii, pod recurved, long tipped with base of persistant style; leaflets softly pubescent; Thanks, … But I find the images matching with images at Rhynchosia viscosa (Roth) DC. & not with those at Rhynchosia rothii Aitch.
Pl. reconsider. Thanks … The flowers (Flowers yeloow with red/ maroon streaks) and leaf look like that of Rhynchosia viscosa which is common in Nellore district and in E.ghats; but the fruit is similar to that of Rhynchosia rothii; the viscous hairs are not clear, the tip is different from R.viscosa (R.rothii has twany villous hairs on pod, flowers purple)
