Shrub 6 for identification<\/a>:
\nThis shrub was clicked <\/span>at Chennai, South India<\/span> by the road side<\/span>. There were <\/span>only 2 plants in the area, just at this one spot. One plant had dried up flowers and fruits while the other had fresh flowers. <\/span>The butterflies were more attracted to the plant with dried flowers. The butterflies seen were <\/span>the blue tiger, plain tiger, stripped tiger, common crow. Yes sir this plant attracts butterflies.

Crotalaria<\/i> sp. of Leguminosae<\/i> family. In Malayalam (in Tamil as well, I guess) it is called Kilukkachedy<\/b>. The dry fruit while shaking makes nice sound (we use to play around when I was a child). The flowers are not visible hence I may not be able to confirm the id.
