Did you check with the comparative images? Yes … but could not decide! It’s not Fabaceae member, Thank you … pointing out towards the ID but P. arvensis is not listed in Nepal. Also net images do not tally completely. Leaves are very slender and hairy compared to the net images. I tried all possibility bot could not get match.
Even P.elongata and P.chinensis does not look a match though not listed in Nepal. Sorry, …, I too helpless because don’t know exactly sp., Sure, Thank you. please rule out Polygala, this is a legume only and most probably a Crotalaria sp. as initially submitted by … it’s ok …, don’t mind, Still, am not convinced with Crotalaria but I will wait for sp. in crotalaria, Did not find match. Only possibility left is Crotalaria kanaii but I could not find any description and images for comparison. Can someone help with its journal? ID elusive so far I need journal about this s. for verifying … Appears to be Crotalaria only, but could not find a match as per comparative images herein. My suggestion Crotalaria kanaii is not matching ! Eriosema himalaicum H.Ohashi

Thank you … for ID ! Thanks, Saroj ji, for the id.
There seems to be some confusion w.r.t. its taxonomy.
There are two similar species reported from India.
One is Eriosema chinense Vogel as per Flora of China (Eriosema chinense Vogel syn: Eriosema himalaicum H. Ohashi) & FoC Illustration with distribution given in India also. On further checking ILDIS gives its distribution only in Bihar.
Catalogue of Life reports two species as
Eriosema himalaicum H.Ohashi syn: Eriosema chinense auct. non Vogel; Eriosema tuberosum (D.Don) Wang & T.Tang with distribution as Bhutan; China; India; Nepal and
Eriosema chinense Vogel (syn: Dolichos biflorus sensu Lour., non L. (misapplied name)) with distribution as Australia; Cambodia; China; Hainan; India; Indonesia; Irian Jaya; Jawa; Laos; Malaysia; Myanmar; Papua New Guinea; Peninsular Malaysia; Philippines; Sri Lanka; Thailand; Vietnam.
Your images matches with Eriosema himalaicum H.Ohashi as per details at
High resolution specimen GBIF ILDIS (Eriosema himalaicum H.Ohashi syn: Eriosema chinense auct. non Vogel; Eriosema tuberosum (D.Don)Wang & T.Tang) 20 September 2020!
