Description: Leaves alternate, simple, penni-veined, hairy. Flowers ca. 8 mm long, purple, placed in long racemes. Fruits long, yellow, beaded pods. I have seen this plant in Bengal too which seems to be a probable option. Yes … this plant is distributed in most part of India 9from South to North), Sri Lanka, China, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia and Africa. This is very common in forest under growth. Good one … So from your pictures this Desmodium is having a large leaf as compared to many others posted earlier. Quite a large leaf, and a large shrub too. Yes u r right this is having very large leaves and thus easy to identify among other Desmodium species.    Date:24/08/2008

Looks like Desmodium velutinum.
