Pl. check
Could you find any match from comparative images at genus page in efi site? No sir, couldn’t. Please help Is it not the same species of Astragalus which was posted by you and identified recently?
No sir. It’s a different sp. Flowers smaller, pinkish white while the previous has larger and purple flowers. Shape of the seed pods also differs
Which are the species reported in your area?
Astragalus is a very complex and difficult genus in angiosperm. Identification is not possible always through photographs. You may ask the persons asking for identification to send the specimens to me for authentic identification. However, The enclosed photograph of Astragalus seems to be Astragalus ophiocarpus. Recently I have published a book “A revision of the genus Astragalus L. (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) in India” through Siya Pyblishing House, New Delhi.
