Flowers bicoloured, pubescent at apex. So it is Mucuna macrocarpa Wall.

Could you pl. post a high resolution image?

Any idea about the genus?

Mucuna

It may be Mucuna.

Mucuna bracteata, M.imbricata, M.monosperma, M.nigricans and M.pruriens are recorded in Mizoram

I think it should be Mucuna macrocarpa Wall. as per GBIF– specimen 1 and specimen 2 and specimen 3

Looks different from other species as per comparative images at Mucuna and pods in GBIF of M.nigricans (specimen), of Mucuna bracteata (specimen)

Mucuna macrocarpa Wall.  ???

That is what I stated.

Please forgive me for hi jacking this thread. While in Sikkim  in 2011 I took a single pic showing a flower that looks to me identical to the one in this thread. I had thought it to be cauliflory and thought maybe Mucuna sp? Please would you learned people  see if you agree.
