Satish ji Agreed, and am sure none of us (including me) have checked the root type as it demands uprooting the whole plant! But if the plant on Kas is F.nilgiriensis, the negro punctate cannot be a distinguishing character as the leaves of the plant at Kas ARE punctate. Please see the image of punctate leaves posted by me in my F.nilgiriensis post. best regards Adittya

It is not advisable to dig out the plants as it is nearly threatened species. One more character is Leaf which is nigropunctate in F. gracilis. I don't know how much importance it has! Most botanists say that the species occurring on Kas plateau is Flemingia nilgheriensis Dr Satish Phadke On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 7:50 AM, Adittya Dharap <[email protected]> wrote: > > >Dear Prashant, > >following is the key character > >F. nilgiriensis........ roots are tuberous >F. gracilis..... roots are not tuberous > >best regards > >Adittya > >From: Prashant Awale <[email protected]> >To: indiantreepix <[email protected]> >Sent: Tuesday, October 9, 2012 10:26 PM >Subject: [efloraofindia:134503] KAS Week:: PKA31:: - Flemingia nilgiriensis / >gracilis > > > >Dear Friends, > >Would like to know the ID for this herb.
