desmodium sp?
Does not match with comparative images at Desmodium
Looks like not matching with efi.
Any idea about the genus ?
… just guessing – Phaseolus ?
Does not seem to match with any of the species in efi so far as per comparative images at Phaseolus
Amphicarpaea??
We do not have any species in this genus in efi so far.
Pueraria??

However, it is not in the vicinity of people habitat.
I asked you because pods looked like that.
Appear closer to Desmodium elegans.
I wonder what it could be then?
Is it a climber

Scandent / Dangling
so you have pictures of the stem that was dangling? was it woody, hairy etc
Sorry, I could hardly pull the small part of it. By the way stem looks strong and thick like finger !
Flower, calyx remind me of Canavalia sp.
Do you have any habit image ?
Unfortunately, no. Actually I saw a couple of flowers lying on the floor and looked for the mother plant but did not find. After a few distance I saw a branch dangling down and pulled it. It looked like scandent shrub rather than a climber.
OK, …
That is how I came to guess about the ID. Do you think it is correct ?
I think so. Fabaceae is enormous.
I wonder how you came to this Genus !!
I was checking the drawings of Stainton book and it struck my mind and searched the net and came across POWO image.
