<\/span>Joints of pods not above: <\/span>Aeschynomene<\/span><\/i><\/span>

\nThe plant does show some characters like Imparipinnate leaves with many unequal based leaflets. Flowers pale yellow’ few in axillary racemes. Pods 6-10 jointed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have attached a cropped photo of the plant sighted on Sep 20, 2008 … Vaghbil, Thane, Maharashtra<\/span>.
\nPerhaps you will be able to see the “joint of pods” and get to conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I am not doubting your ID at all.
\nJust checking and trying tomatch for the characters for my own study which may be useful to others. At the same time the thoughts remain on server to retrieve fast when similar plant is spotted.
\nAnyway thanks for the picture of the pod.
\nI will understand the difference correctly only when I would see the joints of pods folded in calyx in Smithia<\/i>. Here it is clear that nothing is folded.<\/p>\n

A real pleasure to see these photographs<\/p>\n

Which camera do u use … ?<\/p>\n

\n

Seed pods (Important in Papilionaceae<\/i>) as well as the flowers are very beautiful.<\/p>\n

\n

i have two cameras. One (The older one) is Nikon Cool pix and the recent one is Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100V. I think i need more expertise in picking the very small and minute flowers in my lens <\/span>which<\/span> i yet learn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Yes, …, but FoC informs Chamaecrista mimosoides<\/i> has puberulent branches<\/span> whereas my plant seems to be glabrous.<\/span> Moreover, the area is dotted with marshes and lowland where many SHOLA plant could be found.<\/p>\n

\n

… the leaf pattern reminds me of Aeschynomene <\/i>… not sure of species.<\/p>\n

    beautiful. salient photographs. is this planted for goats? or is it growing in an open field on its own?<\/div>\n
    \n

    No, wild growth. This plot is used to dry cardboard sheets, by Diwali this plot will be empty …….every vegetation will be used as cattle feed.<\/p>\n
