Tephrosia uniflora :: Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park :: 24 OCT 18 : 7 posts by 4 authors.
Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park, Jodhpur Date: October 24, 2018 … Altitude: about 300 m (980 feet) asl Tephrosia uniflora Pers. nice. natural occurrence or planted?
It could be either. Most of the flora in this park was planted (restored), after meticulously clearing the non-native Prosopis juliflora – this was about more than a decade ago.
Ok, thanks. This looks like Tephrosia apollinea … flowers coming on a peduncle, goes against T. uniflora.
I am looking for details of elusive T. uniflora subsp. uniflora … Please help in this regard. Thanks … I went by Flora of that park, without much checking. Will correct the ID if any mistake.
Tephrosia apollinea was a very common plant in Oman.
I have seen and photographed around Muscat a number of times.
Thanks very much …
Do you agree with … thought that my posted plant is Tephrosia apollinea ?
It does look similar.
