Please help me to identify this Smithia herb of Fabaceae. The habitat is a grassland of temperate climate.
Height: c.10 cm
Date: 30 Oct 2012
Location: Mukruthi NP, Nilgiris
Alt.: 2450 m asl
Must be Smithia hirsuta. Let us wait for validating comment(s).
First 4 images are of S. hirsuta and last 2 are of S. setulosa. Fabaceae week-35: Is Smithia in first 2 photos is different from last 2 photos?
Or only colour pattern variation? To me it appears only slight variation in color I too think both are same plants. Visible leaflets would have helped… I too think they belong to the same species. By the way did you notice any major variation in leaves. If no variation in leaves they are obviously same species. The difference may be because of the soil type and exposure to light, I guess.
I think Smithia hirsuta Dalzell as per images herein.
Fabaceae-Faboideae (Papilionaceae) Week: Smithia Sp – White: Smithia Sp White in colour, Photo taken at Kas, Satara in Sep-07 please let us know the size of flower if you can recall. the size of the flower is same as of our regular yellow smithia.

Clicked at Kas in Oct 08.
Is it Smithia setulosa or bigemina ? Best would be to follow key in Flora of Maharashtra as it is simple provided you have calyx and leaves.
BUT if you are down to these two species and are sure that the choice is between these two ONLY – S. bigemina has 2 pairs of leaflets while S. setulosa has more (and is generally a more erect robust plant- as per my observations)
I think close to image at Smithia hirsuta Dalzell
Nilgiris: Smithia for identification 031212MK03: Please help me to identify this small herb found on the grasslands of upper plateau of Nilgiris. What is this Fabaceae member?
Size: 7 cm
Flower: 0.8 cm across
… most probably Smithia bigemina Dalzell.
Smithia species. May not be S.bigemina. In S.b. the leaves are only two pairs as reported by … in flowersofindia.com at: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Double%20Paired%20Smithia.html
Could it be Smithia setulosa?
Can the attached one (from Kas, Aug’12) is same as the one posted by …?
I think Smithia hirsuta Dalzell as per another thread: Fabaceae (Faboideae) Fortnight :: Smithia shrub fof ID :: MK-OCT-02
Hairy Smithia (Smithia hirsuta) – indiantreepix | Google Groups : at Kaas, Satara – Maharashtra in October 2008;
Smithia bigemina: Common name- Double Paired Smithia
Habitat- Wild
Location- Paud road , after Pirangut. (On road to Mulshi ) Date- 04th Sep 2011. I posted this Double Paired Smithia yesterday. .. from “Flowers of India” told me that it is Smithia setulosa and not Smithia bigemina. In his words ” Double Paired Smithia has 4 leaflets grouped together “. S. bigemina is a low herb (5-10 cm) with tiny flowers and S. setulosa is a tall herb (1-1.5 m) found on hills which blooms in October. This is a small erect herb ( 10-20 cm) with flowers in short racemes. From location, season and general appearance his would be S. hirsuta. For a specific justfication of ID from calyx and leaflets a specimen would be necessary. Yes … may be right. S. bigemina has 4 leaflets, S. setulosa 10-12 large leaflets and flowers in panicled secund racemes. S. hirsuta has 6-10 leaflets (8 leaflets are seen in most leaves here), also plant is slender, Close ups of calyx are needed for further verification.
