Dear Garg ji, This plant does look superficially similar to the plant on FOI as Crotalaria bhutanica, but one can see differences. For example, compare the flower-stalks of the two. The leaves of Crotalaria bhutanica are supposed to be inverted-lanceshaped or obovate. The angle of the pictures on FOI <http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Bhutan%20Rattlepod.html> is such that this aspect is not very apparent. The herbaria on GBIF are not detailed enough for comparing with FOI images.
