Stems and pods beset with tomentum :- pods are hairy in the attached photographs; but not sure of stem, probably not hispid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Vigna luteola (Jacq.) Benth. = acepted name = http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/ild-3509 - Vigna luteola auct. non Benth. = syn. of *Vigna marina* (Burm.) Merr. = http://www.ildis.org/LegumeWeb?version~10.01&LegumeWeb&tno~2233&genus~Vigna&species~luteola - difference of above two can be found = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=134572#KEY-1-5 I think maybe possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - *Vigna vexillata* (L.) A.Rich. = accepted name = http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/ild-3615?ref=tpl1 - *Vigna vexillata* var. *wightii* (Bedd.) Babu & S.K.Sharma = accepted = http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/ild-50366?ref=tpl1 - *Vigna vexillata* var. *angustifolia* (Schum. & Thonn.) Baker = accepted = http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/ild-43175?ref=tpl1 - difference amongst *luteola*, *marina* and *vexillata* can be found = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=134572#KEY-1-2 *Vigna vexillata* (L.) A.Rich is synonym of *Vigna hirta *Hook <http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=39807>., has yellow-green <http://www.botanicus.org/page/1348006> flowers (see also FoP <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200012366> and FoC <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200012366>). So, I think flower colour is not decisive factor and it can be *V. vexillata* (L.) A. Rich as well or likely!!! Thank you Regards On Sat, Aug 2, 2014 at 1:01 PM, J.M.
