Looks like Desmodium sp. to me too. Thanks for sharing ... The pendulous raceme is interesting, and could be distinct enough character to point to a species. It should be Desmodium concinnum DC. as per images herein.

This may be Pueraria tuberosa. A guess though....as ... had shown us similar blue flowered climber near Tata office Mulshi but I don'thave close up pictures. You can check my earlier pictures searching for the plant name in Search mail. Desmodium sp., may be D. heterocarpon. Hats off to you ..., sitting in US and identifying the plants of w. ghats! This is D. heterocerpon. I think it appears to be more closer to Desmodium concinnum DC. rather than those at Desmodium heterocarpon (L.) DC. Leaves would have settled the issue. References: |
