I think appears close as per images at Flowers bicoloured, pubescent at apex. So it is Mucuna macrocarpa Wall. Yes this is Mucuna monosperma. please wait for the fruit. The fruit is available in efi thread Thanks, … But it is Mucuna macrocarpa & not Mucuna monosperma Yes it is….. i was confused with the flowers of M. macrocarpa. I mean it is M. macrocarpa not M. monosperma Mucuna macrocarpa Wall. (accepted name) Nepali Name : बल्डेङ्ग्रा Baldengraa .
Requesting ID of this plant : Attachments (1). 3 posts by 2 authors. Place : Phawngpui, Mizoram. Altitude : ca. 20,000 m. Date : 11-04-2012. Habitat : Wild
Could you pl. post a high resolution image?  Any idea about the genus? Mucuna It may be Mucuna.
Mucuna bracteata, M.imbricata, M.monosperma, M.nigricans and M.pruriens are recorded in Mizoram
I think it should be Mucuna macrocarpa Wall. as per GBIF– specimen 1 and specimen 2 and specimen 3 Looks different from other species as per comparative images at Mucuna and pods in GBIF of M.nigricans (specimen), of Mucuna bracteata (specimen)
That is what I stated.
Please forgive me for hi jacking this thread. While in Sikkim in 2011 I took a single pic showing a flower that looks to me identical to the one in this thread. I had thought it to be cauliflory and thought maybe Mucuna sp? Please would you learned people see if you agree. 1 image Yes seems similar.
