kroh-tuh-LAR-ee-uh -- Greek krotalos; refers to sound, dried pods make when shaken commonly known as: hairy crotalaria • Marathi: केसाळ ताग kesal tag • Kannada: bekkina tharudu gida Native to: tropical Africa, Indian subcontinent, Indo-China, Malesia, Australia Up loading my pic of pods and other vegetative part of Crotalaria calycina Photographed this small herb in Pench Tiger Reserve on 26-12-05 and 29-9-04 I think id is correct. Yes ... This appears to be C. calycina This certainly looks like typical C. calycina. Nice pic to identify These Crotolaria genera are found in Satyamangalam hills at an altitude of 900- 1100M. ID please? The last two photos belong to Crotalaria calycina. First photo (IMG_6749) is a different one. Plant posted here was photographed at Tiwai Hill, near Chas-kaman dam. Request id please Some Crotalaria is my guess... u would need a lot more pics to id to species level- leaves, stipueles, pods etc. Flower of - Crotalaria calycina (Kesal Tag in Marathi) Photo taken at Satara I am not able to figure out if it is actually C. calycina or some other species. Help is appreciated. This is C. calycina Schrank. Actually Gamble mentioned 4 types in calycina based on the nature of leaf and the altitude in which they occur. But these all are now reduced to synonymy based on other systematic data. Please confirm ID My opinion is Crotolaria naikiana Place: Nashik City Date: 9th December 2018 Habitat Grassland The deflexed pedicels indicates Crotalaria calycina Thank you ... For the ID. But I hope pods included in sepals are a character of C.calycina? Thank you once against for all the trouble.
