I had seen this herb at “Mount Harriet- Andaman”.
\nDate\/Time: 23-12-2010 \/ 03:50PM
\nLocation: Mount Harriet- Andaman
\n<\/span>Habitat: Wild
\nPlant Habit: Herb<\/span><\/p>\n


\n

I do not know. May be a recent adventive.\u00a0… will probably be able to tell the name<\/p>\n


\n

After perusal, three images are revealing as Pycnospora lutescens<\/i>– Fabaceae<\/p>\n


\n

This is certainly not Pycnospora lutescens<\/i> becuase it has simple leaves. P. lutescens<\/i> is trifololiate species and its pods much resemble Crotalaria<\/i> species.<\/p>\n


\n

Very interesting. Short reply:
\nDesmodium benthamii<\/i> N P Balakr. Subject to: detail’s such as height, indumentum, length of inflorescence, it’s known presence in Andamans etc as many assumptions have been made in giving a specific id.<\/p>\n


\n

This could be Desmodium heterocarpon<\/i> (L.) DC.<\/p>\n


\n
\n

Thanks, … But Images of Desmodium heterocarpon<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0look different.<\/p>\n


\n<\/div>\n

I think this is\u00a0Desmodium heterocarpon<\/em>\u00a0subsp.\u00a0ovalifolium<\/em>\u00a0as per\u00a0Tropical forages<\/a>\u00a0and Desmodium heterocarpon subsp.

\n<\/div>\n

Yes Garg Ji. It does looks like\u00a0Desmodium heterocarpon\u00a0<\/em>subsp.\u00a0ovalifolium.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n

Lot of your postings like this, have been published as new species, subsp. etc. subsequent to your postings.<\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

OK …<\/p>\n

Yes …, many of\u00a0 postings in efi\u00a0 have been published as new species \/ subsp. etc.. That is great I feel. Thanks to you and our other members for following up the unidentified ones.<\/p>\n

A wild guess. Can this be a Tephrosia<\/em> sp.?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I think it is Desmodium<\/em> species.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

looking at the structure of leaves aand the inflorescence it appears to be Alysicarpus<\/em> species.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

May be some Polygala<\/em> sp ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I think this might be Alysicarpus<\/em> sp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Another guess, can it be Uraria lagopoides<\/em>?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I guess some Alysicarpus species<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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

It is Alysicarpus<\/em> species<\/p>\n

I think it may be Desmodium zonatum<\/i> Miq. (D. ormocarpoides<\/i>), In flora it is mention that branchlets are pinkish-brown, pubescent, Leaves sofly tomentose below. and Distributed in South Andaman and S Nicobar
\ninland.<\/span><\/p>\n
