Just sending reference that I have found it listed in Nepal. Please ignore it if irrelevant.

Thanks, … Which is the book? Is it listed in Checklist of Nepal?

Please ignore image 1.

Dr. Aaron Floden has suggested it to be A. edgeworthii. I have found images of seed pods of both sp. with 2/4 segments only whereas my image has 9 segments. Could we confirm it?


Thank you … Images of Wikimedia showing hairy stem and sepals.


There are many subsp. or varieties as per Catalogue of Life. Pl. check with the detailed description w. r. t. queries you raised.

Legumes dimorphic: those of nor­mal flowers oblong or obovate-oblong, 2-3.5 × ca. 0.6 cm, compressed, 2-5-seeded; legumes of cleistogamous flowers elliptic or suborbicular, 1-4-seeded. Seeds reniform-orbicular, 2-4 × 2-3 mm; hilum short.

Could it be Cochlianthus gracilis ??

Cochlianthus gracilis Benth. ??
I find difficult to differentiate between Cochlianthus gracilis Benth. and Amphicarpaea bracteata (L.) Fernald.

To me also appears close to Cochlianthus gracilis as per images, details and references herein.
Which book you have attached from ? 

Thank you …! Nepali Names : खोस्रे लहरो Khosre Laharo/ भटमासे लहरा Bhatamaase Lahara/ खोसे लहरो Khose Laharo

Any possibility to ID with these leaves??

Pl. check comparative images at Fabaceae, if by chance you get a match.


To me appears close as per the venation & colour of the leaves and other details.

I am concerned about the whitish patch at the centre of leaves!

I think that should not be a worry.
