desmodium<\/i> sp?<\/p>\n

Any idea about the genus ?

\n
\n

Looks like not matching with efi.<\/p>\n

\n

Any idea about the genus ?<\/p>\n

\n

… just guessing – Phaseolus<\/i> ?<\/p>\n

\n

Does not seem to match with any of the species in efi so far as per comparative images at Phaseolus<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Amphicarpaea<\/i><\/span>??<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

We do not have any species in this genus in efi so far.<\/p>\n

\n

Pueraria<\/span><\/em>??<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
… may check from the species reported from the area.<\/div>\n
Does not match with the existing species in efi at\u00a0Pueraria<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
More likely species of Pueraria.<\/em> Its aggressive climber on road side in North East.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
An UPDATE on this elusive Fabaceae climber.<\/div>\n
Could it be\u00a0Pueraria wallichii<\/i>?<\/div>\n
P. wallichii<\/em> is present in Meghalaya, has trifoliate leaves and pink-tinged flowers. But I had not dissected the flowers nor had I taken a good picture of the leaves.<\/div>\n
But from the photographs, it does appear to be P. wallichii<\/em>.<\/div>\n
Your expert comments would be most helpful.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Yes, you are right, …, as per images at Pueraria wallichii<\/em> DC.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

Was it near habitat?<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
It was in wild and located at the edge of the forest about 60\/70 ft. above the road<\/span> so the images could not be\u00a0 better.
\nHowever, it is not in the vicinity of people habitat.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I asked you because pods looked like that.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Yes …, it looks like but I guess it is some wild sp.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Unusual flowering in this season.
\nAppear closer to\u00a0Desmodium elegans<\/i>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Only confusion is the flowering season and\u00a0seed pods which looks different !<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yes, your confusion is valid. Pods are different than\u00a0Desmodium<\/i>, no constriction between two seeds!
\nI wonder what it could be then?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Is it a climber<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Thanks, … Appears so from the habit image in the first picture.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Scandent \/ Dangling<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

so you have pictures of the stem that was dangling? was it woody, hairy etc<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Sorry, I could\u00a0hardly pull the small\u00a0part of it. By the way stem looks strong and thick like finger !<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Flower, calyx remind me of\u00a0Canavalia<\/i>\u00a0sp.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It is not listed in Nepal ! Some\u00a0Canavalia<\/i>\u00a0is syn with\u00a0Dolichos<\/i>\u00a0but not matching.<\/div>\n

Do you have any habit image ?<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Unfortunately, no. Actually I saw a couple of flowers lying on the floor and looked for the mother plant but did not find. After a few distance\u00a0I saw a\u00a0branch dangling down and pulled it. It looked like scandent shrub rather than a climber.<\/p>\n

I think so.\u00a0Fabaceae<\/i> is enormous.
\nI wonder how you came to this Genus !!<\/p>\n

I was checking the drawings of Stainton book and it struck my mind and searched the net and came across POWO image.<\/p>\n

I also agree with the id as matching with leaf venation and flowers per the following:
