I am keeping a watch on the interesting discussion and learning through this. All comments are welcome. There were several plants in the area all about 6 inches or so tall They had two pairs of leaflets each.......prompting me about the identity of *S.absus * If I happen to visit the area again I will try to extract some more characters. Would any one like to suggest to check for some specific character Pl. let me know. Thanks and Regards. Dr Phadke On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 5:05 PM, H S <[email protected]> wrote:
