Pongamia pinnat:
Large tree
Pongamia pinnata (Leguminosae) करंज Thane creek ,Mumbai , Maharashtra 19/11/2012


Negative. This is not Pongamia pinnata.


This looks like a species of Derris possibly the Mangrove Beanstalk [Derris trifoliata].


Agreeing with … thoughts – me too with Derris trifoliata.


Yes it is Derris trifoliata, commonly observed growing with mangrove associates in Mumbai,

I think difficult with these images except for those who are very familiar with the species in the area.

Derris trifoliata or Karanjvel, a mangrove associate but can grow a little away from saline water. In spite of the name it has 5 leaflets.

Please identify this climber….. probably a Derris species, from Kannur District of Kerala.


PlCheck comparative images at efi site: Derris


Pl. ask for a better specimen with more leaves and opened flowers and fruits, Pl. don’t encourage for incomplete specimens for identification, It takes a lot of our valuable time.


Derris trifoliata


.


Plant for ID: 29-3-2023: Kerala: 8 images.
Please help ID this plant.
Location: Koonammavu, Kerala
The flowers were at a height of 6-7 feet. But I am not sure if it’s a climber or a shrub. The stems and roots were intertwined with other plants.


Derris species ???


Looks like Derris as suggested by …


The flowers look like that of Derris trifoliata, but the leaves have rounded ends. So, I am a little confused.


Derris ovalifolia (Wight & Arn.)Benth. ?


I am not able to find other websites to cross-check. POWO only has one picture, and I am not sure about the leaves, https://powo.science.kew.org/names:491389-1.
The leaves in my picture have rounded ends.

https://efloraofindia.com/2021/11/30/derris-ovalifolia/
https://www.flowersofindia.Kanara%20Derris.html


Mostly it is Derris trifoliata only, Because that species only common along with Mangroves,  posted leaves are belongs to Avicennia officinalis.


Oh no! Do you think I took pictures of 2 different species? I am going to Kerala again next week. Will check and take some more photos.


Yes, I agree as per images at
