You have a great memory Dinesh. This one indeed appears apt for *Crotalaria leptostachya* This picture looks exactly as the illustration of *Crotalaria leptostachya*in BSI Flora Mah. Probably all the flowers in terminal acemes have converted to pods and only the lower ones are in flower in your earlier post which might have confused me.
