Sorry Ushadi for having ignored your valuable lead, primarily because
Glycyrrhiza glabra you suggested I had seen in Delhi and it had different
inflorescence and glabrous fruits.
Yesterday I uploaded it in Daves Garden forum, where again Glycyrrhiza
lepidota ot G. glabra was suggested. Both have inflorescence in long
raceme, and although fruits of G. lepidota are similarly spiny, they are of
different shape.
This led me to Flora of China where perhaps I found answers to both my
closely related plants from same place. This one identifies with
Glycyrrhiza yunnanensis having flowers and consequently fruits in globose
to ovoid cluster, fruits are spiny on surface, narrower and gradually
narrowed to sharp tip.
This then Glycyrrhiza yunnanensis.
Being cultivated in a herbal garden I think we should not worry much how it
came to Kashmir.
