What a weird looking plant , looks like a grass but has leaves like dicot !!!!!!!!!!!! i have never seen a more weird plant than this!! Eagerly waiting to know the name.


Beautiful! I have not seen the plant, so i guess it could be a species or a relative of Flemingia (Fabaceae). I too want to know the id of this interesting plant. Thanks.


I do agree with … One of the Flemingea…


it can be Flemingia macrophylla


I think ur right … This appears to be Flemingia macrophylla.


it is Flemingia macrophylla…. observed this in Bihar- Pashchim Champaran forest, close to Nepal Border.

To me looks different from other images at Flemingia macrophylla (Willd.) Merr.

Flemingia macrophylla,

It is more closer to Flemingia stricta as per High resolution specimen at GBIF & FoC illustration & POWO and as per distribution in ILDIS
