Kalatope id al150811a: Another flower from the same graveyard
Location Kalatope, Chamba
Altitude  1800 mts
Habit herb
Habitat wild
Plant height 24 inches
flower less than 5mm

Sir some more photos.. including fruit/seed.. maybe this helps a bit..


Lateral leaflets much smaller than terminal, if flower about 12 mm long or so, then it should be Desmodium gyrans


Thank you sir, I think you have pointed me in the right direction.. (I  think.. please review)
The flower much smaller than this… it is 4mm wide and 4mm long.. I  think the description of D. podocarpum on FloraSimlensis would be  fitting this…
P.S. A few links from the internet
Botanic
Wikipedia

Yes I think it is D. podocarpum. Now I think you can appreciate how vital  information about size helps. The flowers are clearly pedicelled, so would  be the fruits.

– The shape of articles reminds me of Desmodium zonatum. But few other spp (like D. repandum etc.) also have this feature. So, needed here are more details, espl leaves. The prostrate plant in the background is D. triflorum, perhaps.
