Here is Sibdas ji's reply: "Thanks Gargji, after I got your mail, I had to visit my village. I came across both C.sophera and C. occidentalis. The later truely has 4-5 pairs of leaflet, and sophera 6-10 pair of leaflet. Moreover, the leaflets are bigger and broader in occidentalis. Occidentalis are slender with sparse foliage and twigs and are slender in nature, but sohera are bushy and with more foliage.- Sibdas Ghosh"
