The genus is Mimosa.
I have checked the key on efloraofindia site. But it is confusing for a layman like me.

Looks like Mimosa rubicaulis Lam. Please check Mimosa ! I agree Can you show us the number of pinnae in a leaf clearly, to go through the keys and finally decide on the species ? agree with … need to count the pinnae, before the key….. otherwise this is a dx stop at Mimosa sp. I counted the pinnae at few places. The average is 13 to 16 pairs.
I am also attaching two photos for your reference.
If this is not sufficient I will do another field trip in future. Thanks, …, You are giving is no. of leaflet pairs.
But this is a compound leaf with many pinnae. Each pinnae has many pair of leaflets. Pl. see
