Yes, appears so as per comparative images at Pueraria
What are the keys?



I am not getting sure about Pueraria montana var. thomsonii as per keys in Flora of Mizoram as per POWO specimens- one and two and GBIF specimens.
May I request you to pl. post high res. images to further check the details.


May be close as per
https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1913159000

Also observations at Pueraria montana var. lobata appear quite similar, but different as per keys at Flora of China,
Both occur in NE India as per POWO.


4 high res. images.
