Identify Desmodium sp.?: 2 high res. images.
Habitat: Rocky slope 

Habitat: Herb
Location: Bundi forest area Raj.

When I searched Desmodium sp. in POWO, I thought it was Desmodium ochroleucum but its distribution in India is not shown in POWO map.
Yes, it appears so.
But I could not find any match as per comparative images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/25/desmodium/


Or may some similar genus.

Thank you.


No, it looks different:

https://efloraofindia.com/2012/02/28/hylodesmum-podocarpum/


I think close to images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/02/25/desmodium-dichotomum/


this is different. I think … is right (Genus Hylodesmum) but I am not sure about the species, because its pods are 2-6 lobed and  twisted.

I have attached 1 more image of its pod.



1 high res. image


It may be Desmodium procumbens which is an introduced species in India.


I guess … is right.
