Any member having access to the following publication may help in knowing differences from typical M. rubicaulis

I too have photographed these a little after leaving Jammu.
\nYou could see a number of them along the National highway at a particular altitude.
\nDid not find them after climbing higher up to Patni Top.<\/p>\n

\n

Yes … Common in subtropical Himalayas<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Common in Haryana also along bank of canals etc
\nattaching some pics<\/p>\n

\n

Google search gave me a small peep into Jastor Gamble original paper:
\nGamble differentiated this species on the basis of 8-12 pairs of pinnae, each pinna with 16-20 pairs of leaflets most commonly 19, and pod acuminate in most cases.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Pune (Mah) I have seen Mimosa hamata<\/i><\/b> which is similar to this plant.
\nThe difference I could note here in your picture…………The branches are grooved.
\nThe pods are supposed to be glabrous in M.rubicaulis<\/i><\/b> whereas they are pubescent in

Mimosa diplotricha from Hooghly:<\/span><\/a> 11 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (<\/span>8<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

I asked myself –<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. “Is it Mimosa pudica<\/i>?”<\/li>\n
  2. “Is it sensitive?”<\/li>\n
  3. “Is this an illusion?”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    When i saw this plant i was sure that it was Mimosa pudica<\/i>. But when i touched it, it didn’t response! I touched again, this time harder, but it didn’t response. I hit it with my plastic scale on its highly prickled stem and it appeared to me that it did response! Or was it an illusion, i asked myself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    As i was going through my old records of Mimosa pudica<\/i> i realized that it was not the same plant. Net search gave me Mimosa himalayana<\/span><\/a><\/i>. I was about to id this plant with the same.
