ID requested DS_FORID_WEED1.0_16022012:
requesting for ID the attached weed. Date – FEB 5, 2012
Location- West Bengal -Howrah District
Wayside by a Lake
Habitat- Weed Melilotus indica i think I think yes Melilotus indica One question – is this a medicinal plant? If so, how it is used?
Herb for ID : 180213 : AK-1: Saw a single plant.
Possible that it was planted earlier along with many others.
Found it along with other vegetables planted in the farm. Melilotus indica (L.) All. (Fabaceae)! Thanks for the id.
On searching, I am unable to find leaves with central red line. Kindly follow the plant to flowering to be sure. The red line may disappear with maturity. It happens in Pantnagar. The species is more correctly written as Melilotus indicus now. If you have studied the plant and know it well, I have no doubts.
I was seeing those red lines for the first time.

It is hard to believe that this tiny flowers are leguminous Please also check for Medicago lupulina Thank you so much … Is it possible that I have uploaded two species which were growing as weeds in cultivated field? Is there any possibility of presence of even a Trigonella in this set of pictures? 617, 618, 619, 620, 629, 631 are Medicago lupulina to me. Thank you Sir. I have already accepted Medicago lupulina in my earlier mail. The second species is very confusing. I am also not sure if it can be Trigonella corniculata or a Melilotus indicus. I titled this post, based on distribution in Bengal Plants, without going into detail. But since these are found in cultivated field, distribution is irrelevant here. I also regret that I thought all is one species at different developmental stage.        Flower and fruit tell this species Melilotus indicus (L.) All. I fail to find any Trigonella in that field today.

Why elevation is showing so differently?
Attachments (6) great. patience paid off. earth is warming up. co2 is being absorbed by earth, rocks and plants more and more things are going to change fast from now on…. so be ready, your newer “finds” are going to be higher and higher up … etc. the old plant lists will no longer be valid for presence or absence in regions. they were noted in century past Yes ! even Rhododendrons started bloomig 2- 2.5 years before time. yes i know. i was in delhi sometime earlier. a cook at the five star came up to ask if i liked food etc and we got to chatting, during which he volunteered that he was from himachal pradesh and rhododendrons that they make cough syrup from were flowering earlier and its cough remedy powers were less effective. Seeding ! 9 march 2019 ! . Please help me to identify this weed.
