The shape of the leaflets reminds me of *C. grahamiana. *In *Crotalaria quinquefolia, *I think the leaflets are narrower, I guess Considering this plant is from Munnar possibilities are high for *C. grahamiana* * * http://www.kew.org/herbcatimg/269097.jpg http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/144465/ http://flowering-plants.blogspot.com/2011/02/crotolaria-grahamiana.html
To my surprise I could see one plant idied as *Crotalaria quinquefolia** *has even simple leaf* *(one foliolate) @* * http://www.planetefleurs.fr/Systematique/Fabaceae/Crotal05a.htm ! *Crotalaria quinquefolia *(Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crotalaria_quinquefolia_W_IMG_2170.jpg Here it looks like the inflorescence is much longer than C. grahamiana I shall refer flora records tomorrow and get back.
