Crotolaria montana: Crotolaria montana is also a fairly prevalent monsoon annual on my property at Shahapur. Flowering generally occurs between August to September and fruiting soon follows. Sending a few of my photographs.
Which out of the following is our species (From The Plant List) ?;


Crotalaria ¿ species ?
Below are two sightings; but I strongly believe they are the same species of Crotalaria based on their habit and habitat. Growing in scrub vegetation with a tendency to grow gregariously, these have small flowers, just about 10 ± 2 mm.
at Vaghbil on September 18, 2010
along Ghodbunder Road on September 13, 2008
Crotalaria species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net)
It looks like  Crotalaria albida
Sorry- Flowers more than 5 in the inflorescence- May not be Crotalaria albida.
This can be either C. montana or C. linifolia.
Thank you very much ... for possibilities of ID.
Will study later the two possibilities.

I think matches with images at Crotalaria montana Roth 
Thanks ... for the best possible ID.
Yes sir, it is Crotalaria montana.

Crotalaria for ID : Pali,Maharashtra : 261112 : AK-2:
  A small wild plant seen in Pali, Maharashtra on 23/11/12 at a farm.
Most of the plant had dried up, just a single yellow flower was seen.
Looks like a Crotalaria species.
Plant about 2 feet in height.
This could be Crotolaria montana. My photographs of it are avaiable at this link
Also agree with the other 2 plant identities.
