Many thanks all for the valuable inputs.

I can confirm this posted *Aeschynomene* as *A.indica*; as the pods are
indented on lower margin only.

In *A. aspera*, the pod margin is indented at both margins; also with more
leaflet pairs [30-35] when compared with *A. indica*.

*A. americana* is cultivated and only reported from Coimbatore dist. of TN.
[don't know the purpose of cultivation]
