Desmodium species


A Desmodium


Earlier Desmodium congestum, tell you later the correct identity


Thanks a lot, …
There are two species with this name as below:
Desmodium congestum (Wight) Benth. is a synonym of Leptodesmia congesta Baker  & Desmodium congestum Wight & Arn. is a synonym of Dendrolobium triangulare (Retz.) Schindl. Neither of them have distribution in Andamans as per ILDIS nor matches with the posted Plant as per images at Dendrolobium triangulare or at Leptodesmia congesta.
However, it seems close to me with images of Dendrolobium umbellatum, which also has distribution in Andamans.

Yes, it looks like Dendrolobium umbellatum 


Yes. It is correct. Dendrolobium umbellatum

Found in Auroville Botanical Garden.
Not sure of habit.

Appears to be some Fabaceae member.


Hardwickia binata

This appears to be Dendrolobium umbellatum (L.) Benth. [Leguminosae].
The leaves and the fruit of Hardwickia binata Roxb. are entirely different from those depicted in … photographs.

May be he is right.. I was deceived by the figure one…

Please help me to identify the Desmodium sp.
Location Ahemadnagar, Maharashtra


Desmodium triangulare


I feel it is more closer to images at Dendrolobium umbellatum rather than those at Dendrolobium triangulare


Yes, I agree. It is D.umbellatum.




MS/2023/118 -Dendrolobium umbellatum: 3 images.
I am forwarding h/w the photos of the tree photographed in Chennai. Please confirm or suggest the ID.
