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. 03082018BHAR02 : 8 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3)- around 600 kb each. Found in Auroville Botanical Garden.
Not sure of habit.
