Pl. if any body can photograph it with micro. This plant is common every where in the Konkan. It does flowers round the year in the marshy places and of course in the places like nursery and irrigated fields. The othe close associate is Cassia kolabensis, native and endemic to Raigad District ( old Kolaba district). This plant has imparipinnate ( Odd leaflets) leaves. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "indiantreepix" group.
