It is indigofera hebepetela

Thank you once again.

I think this looks different from as per Nidhan ji’s post at Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight :: Indigofera hebepetala :: Chakrata :: NS OCT 66/66 and as per the following keys from Flora of Pakistan:

26 (25)	Bracts cymbiform at the base, erect, enclosing the flower before anthesis	(27)
+	Bracts not cymbiform, erect, but not enclosing the flower	(28)

27 (26)	Leaflets pubescent on both surfaces	Indigofera hebepetala var. hebepetala
+	Leaflets glabrous adaxially	Indigofera hebepetala var. glabra

28 (26)	Flower shorter than the subtending bract	Indigofera atropurpurea
+	Flower longer than the subtending bract	(29)

29 (28)	Calyx teeth deltoid, not exceeding the cup	Indigofera hamiltonii
+	Calyx teeth lanceolate, exceeding the cup	Indigofera himalayensis

I feel it may be Indigofera hamiltonii Grah. ex Duthie & Prain as per keys above and as per Flora of Pakistan FOC illustration Flora of China
