Crotolaria montana:
Crotolaria montana is also a fairly prevalent monsoon annual on my property at Shahapur. Flowering generally occurs between August to September and fruiting soon follows. Sending a few of my photographs.

Which out of the following is our species (From The Plant List) ?;
Crotalaria ¿ species ?
Below are two sightings; but I strongly believe they are the same species of Crotalaria based on their habit and habitat. Growing in scrub vegetation with a tendency to grow gregariously, these have small flowers, just about 10 ± 2 mm.

Crotalaria species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)

It looks like  Crotalaria albida

Sorry- Flowers more than 5 in the inflorescence- May not be Crotalaria albida.

This can be either C. montana or C. linifolia.

Thank you very much … for possibilities of ID.
Will study later the two possibilities.

A small wild plant seen in Pali, Maharashtra on 23/11/12 at a farm.

Most of the plant had dried up, just a single yellow flower was seen.
Looks like a Crotalaria species.
Plant about 2 feet in height.
This could be Crotolaria montana. My photographs of it are avaiable at this link
Also agree with the other 2 plant identities.

Looks like some Crotalaria sp.? Location: Mumbai.

Crotalaria species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) 

There are chances of Crotalaria albida Roth.
Herb about 30cm tall. Leaves simple, small, oblanceolate or oblong-elliptic, upto 2.0cm x 0.8cm. Flowers yellow about 10 or more more flowered raceme. 

C. linifolia

Assuming it’s Aug-Oct period, it could be C. montana as well.
If standard is glabrous, it’s more likely to be C. montana (ref. M R Almeida 2:31)

I think more closer to images at Crotalaria montana Roth
