Dear friends, ... at another forum, my friends have genuine doubts about this plant being *I. tinctoria*. Their thoughts: *I. tinctoria* is a small shrub, similar to *I. suffruticosa * (in fact, they think both are synonymous).
To me it looks like *I. tinctoria* (and dear Tabish too thinks similarly) ... yet would like you to take a re-look and validate the ID. Based my ID by referring these two links: 1) ... The Indigo page ... http://www.indigopage.com/herbal/indigofera.htm 2) ... IMPGC ... http://www.impgc.com/plantinfo_A.php?id=273&bc=Raw%20Herbs%20%BB%20Leaves Facts: Found the plant growing on hill slope, enroute Kas plateau in the ghat region. Best remembering it to be about 4 - 5 ft in height and about as much wide. Requesting you to refer the photographs for inferring ID. Regards.
