Which Fabaceae ??

It is Indigofera heterantha Wallich ex Brandis – Himalayan indigo


Looks different from images at Indigofera heterantha


To me it seems to be Hedysarum campylocarpon.

Plate 30 of The Flowers of The Himalaya by Polulin and Stainton refers.

 


I guess it is not matching.

did you get a flower and dissect it?

secondly with so many flowers, were there any seed pods?

I thought it would be easy to identify so did not give much attention about fruit pods. By the way, image 4 and 5 shows slight indication of fruiting stage.


Indigofera stachyodes Lindl.    ??

Thanks, …, for the id.

To me also appear close to Indigofera stachyodes as per

Thank you …! By the way this is not listed in Nepal.
