Phirojshahnagar, Mumbai One of the genus where the leaflets are many. The pods description which differentiates from Smithia (IN the Key) is Joints of pods folded in calyx: Smithia. Joints of pods not above: Aeschynomene Very difficult to check in pictures. The plant does show some characters like Imparipinnate leaves with many unequal based leaflets. Flowers pale yellow' few in axillary racemes. Pods 6-10 jointed. Have attached a cropped photo of the plant sighted on Sep 20, 2008 ... Vaghbil, Thane, Maharashtra. Perhaps you will be able to see the "joint of pods" and get to conclusion. I am not doubting your ID at all. Just checking and trying tomatch for the characters for my own study which may be useful to others. At the same time the thoughts remain on server to retrieve fast when similar plant is spotted. Anyway thanks for the picture of the pod. I will understand the difference correctly only when I would see the joints of pods folded in calyx in Smithia. Here it is clear that nothing is folded.
