(Indigofera sessiliflora DC.?).
This one is a branching silvery herb with dense axillary inflorescences. I hope that I have identified it rightly as I. sessiliflora DC.
Please help to confirm its identity.

Thanks, Yogesh ji, for the wonderful presentation.
However, Flora of Pakistan and Florabase gives leaflets 5-7, but I see up to 9 leaflets.
I think there are 3 leaflets also. There may be 9 leaflet specimens also. Pl. check.
Thanks a lot respected … for appreciating…
Thankyou so much … for nice words. I have checked a few specimens on GBIF as you suggested and found that some specimens also have 9 leaflets. So my posted species matches to I. sessiliflora DC.
yes, it is sessiliflora
