Hi Prasad, GUESSING it as : "Flemingia nana Roxb." Considerable name changes and merging has occurred leaving it now as:
*Flemingia macrophylla* (Willd.) O. Ktze. ex Merr. Crotalaria macrophylla Willd. Flemingia congesta Roxb. ex Ait. f. F. nana Roxb. F. congesta var. latifolia (Bth.) Baker F. congesta var. nana (Roxb.) Baker Moghania nana (Roxb.) Mukerjee M. macrophylla (Willd.) O. Ktze. The Flora of Bombay by T. Cooke (which separates the species) mentions calyx covered with ferruginous glands and : Pods turgid with greenish-grey tomentum and covered with viscid reddish glands. Melghat has this plant and it normally has only a few leaves (3-foliolate) or a short woody stem above ground. BUT please check the recent literature and recent key for Fabaceae. regards Aparna On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 1:18 PM, prasad dash <prasad.dash2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all please help me in ID > > Place of collection: Mayurbhanj, Orissa > Habit: Small herb (Up to 5 cm) > Habitat: Dead stumps of Sal forest > Altitude: 300 m above msl > > > Please find the attachment > > Regards > > Prasad > > -- > Prasad Kumar Dash > Ecologist, Orissa, India > email: prasad.dash2...@gmail.com > ph. 09437444241 > -- Dr. Aparna Watve At present : 34/6, Gulawani Maharaj Rd.
