Vijayasankar ji, you are never wrong I never knew Indigofera has a few species with trifoliate leaves, so perhaps ignored the pod length. Yes it matches with Indigofera trifoliata L. with leaflets gland-dotted on under surface, racemes almost sessile, bright red corolla , bristle-like calyx teeth and pubescent deflexed pod with weak wings.
Thanks a ton for this great lead. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
