Seen this prostrate herb near Gorewada Lake, Nagpur. Looks like some Chamaecrista sp??? (Family: Caesalpiniaceae).. ID please..
Flower size small (approx: 8mm)
Date/Time:30-08-2014 / 10:00AM
Chamaecrista species in efi with keys 
Yes it is Chamaecrista pumila (Lam.) K.Larsen Syn. Cassia pumila 
Please check, There is small stalked gland just below the lowest pair of leaflets on the rachis. then it is Chamaecrista pumila.  

Photographed from Delhi Ridge on 27-8-09. The only thing I can say that flowers remind me of Corchorus, but leaves are Pinnate compound.

looks like Cassia klanii, a wild guess
Check for Cassia uniflora-Caesalpinaceae
Today I studied this plant. It was identified as Cassia pumila. ..., thanks for nearly correct guess. I had never seen such small flowers in Cassia, so got confused initially, but resolved it today.

On 17/8/08 in Talakona forest, AP near Tirupati. I saw it prostrate or a bit climbing- smallish one. 
The picture 8521 is Cassia mimosoides, P047.jpg is Cassia sophera.
Thanks, ..., Description seems to match at the link of Cassia mimosoides: http://www.mdidea.com/products/herbextract/dimer/data.html,
& image at:  http://static.flickr.com/125/319668406_9037180abe_o.jpg
Cassia mimosoides (Chamaecrista mimosoides) leaves are much longer. See this:
http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Feather-leaved%20Cassia.html
Could your plant be Chamaecrista nictitans - Partridge pea?
Links for Chamaecrista nictitans:
From the above, I certainly find my post closer to Chamaecrista nictitans. Pl. confirm.  
Now, I find Chamaecrista nictitans ssp. patellaria var. glabrata at India Biodiversity Portal .
Could anybody pl. confirm it as Chamaecrista nictitans ssp. patellaria var. glabrata ? 
It is Cassia pumilla, the leaflets are <20 (pairs?) in this plant. But in cassia mimosoides, the leaflets are between 25-40 (pairs?); as both are prostrate there a lot of scope to confuse between the two. A gland is present at the first pair of leaflets is seen in Cassia mimosoides but not in cassia pumilla

Please identify this plant from Sikkim, April - 2015.
Appx height 1ft, growing near roadside.
Looks similar to Cassia mimosoides
It is Chamaecrista, but without observing the stamens, and the gland it is difficult to conclude its species. The pod and leaflet number suggest C.pumila


Came across this erect herb with Pinnate leaves on the way to Prabalgad. Could this be some Cassia sp??

Aeschynomene sp.
Seems to be Chamaecrista sp. pls compare with C. auricoma (Grah. ex Benth) Singh and C. mimosoides (L.) Greene
It is species of Caesalpinia sp.
It looks to me Chamaecrista pumila= Cassia pumila
It is Chamaecrista mimosoides a synonym of Cassia mimosoides; the  leaflets are more than 25, a gland on the petiole at the base of 1st  pair of leaflets indicate it as C.mimosoides
Neither number of stamens nor glands (whether sessile in C. mimosoides with 10 stamens or stalked in C. pumila with 5 stamens) can be seen in these images.
I request … to post original images.
However otherwise, to me also appears to be close to images Chamaecrista pumila (Lam.) K.Larsen as identified by … and as per keys at Chamaecrista
It looks different from those at Chamaecrista mimosoides (L.) Greene

I can see stalked glands at the petiole just below the lower most leaflets in some of them- so it should be Chamaecrista pumila (Lam.) K.Larsen 

Thanks for resolving the id.
