you are correct it may not be Cicer, we will check


I could not find a match at some of the comparative images available at Fabaceae (Leguminosae)


Pl. check comparative images at Astragalus


Astragalus sp.


is it Astragalus hamosus Linn.,

Could it be a species of Astragalus, may be A. muonspessulanus?

Could be Astragalus Species?

ID requested for this Astragalus sp. Photo taken on Mar 2018. at Faridkot. Punjab

Pl. check 

Could you find any match from comparative images at genus page in efi site? 


No sir, couldn’t. Please help  


Is it not the same species of Astragalus which was posted by you and identified recently? 

No sir. It’s a different sp. Flowers smaller, pinkish white while the previous has larger and purple flowers. Shape of the seed pods also differs

Which are the species reported in your area? 

Astragalus is a very complex and difficult genus in angiosperm. Identification is not possible always through photographs. You may ask the persons asking for identification to send the specimens to me for authentic identification. However, The enclosed photograph of Astragalus seems to be Astragalus ophiocarpus. Recently I have published a book “A revision of the genus Astragalus L. (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) in India” through Siya Pyblishing House, New Delhi.
