Hi Prashant Wonderful shots again. Last year you had posted same plant which I had included on the Indiantreepix blog on Polygalaceae. The characteristic petals just look marvelous esp. the lowermost petal which is boat shaped or saucer shaped -*keel with a fringed crest .* What I could gather from species name...................... arvensis = from Latin meaning fields,
As a species name, means “found in cultivated fields” (as either a crop or a weed). Can you recollect the habitat of the plant you observed? Please comment.
