“Desmodium species, *most probably D. multiflorum*. http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=116705&flora_id=2 Regards Vijayasankar Raman” “Thank you Vijay for the lead. Instead of D. multiflorum, would it be D. laxiflorum? ( http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200012103) I am sorry I didnt check whether the stamens were di/monadelphous! I went mad by running the key several times and I finally gave it up for another day then I thought I will try with you people. Thanks and Regards, Giby” “Agree with Dr. Giby. This *could be Desmodium laxiflorum*. Sending a few of my photographs. With regards, Neil Soares.” ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Giby Kuriakose <[email protected]> Date: 14 October 2011 19:25 Subject: [efloraofindia:87796] 131011GK01_Legumonosae Id request To: indiantreepix <[email protected]> Please help me in id this Leguminosae plant Date/Time-*12th October 2011* Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- *Sringeri, Karnataka, about 700m MSL* Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type- *Wild* Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb-* Shrub (weak stem that was drooping down)* Height/Length- *2-3ft * Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size-*Trifoliate* Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts - *Keel and wing petals were light pink/purple and the standard petal was white. * Fruits Type/ Shape/ Size Seeds-*mature ones* *not seen* Thanks and Regards, Giby. -- GIBY KURIAKOSE PhD Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Royal Enclave, Jakkur Post, Srirampura Bangalore- 560064 India Phone - +91 9448714856 (Mobile) visit my pictures @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/giby -- With regards, J.M.Garg ([email protected]) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jmgarg1 'Creating awareness of Indian Flora & Fauna' The whole world uses my Image Resource of more than a *thousand species* & eight thousand images of Birds, Butterflies, Plants etc. (arranged alphabetically & place-wise): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:J.M.Garg.
