Please find some pictures, recently found in Bangladesh and the picture has taken by a plant lover. I am seeking your help for proper identification. I think looks different from Astragalus glycyphyllos as per We do not any species under this genus in BD. But Hooker stated 70 species in British India, except A. Glycyphyllos. Mostly from cold region including Nepal. To me its Indigofera. I am talking about Indigofera. From CHT and Chittagong 5 species Indigofera galegoides Indigofera linnaei Indigofera suffruticosa Indigofera tinctoria Indigofera zollingeriana Appears close to Indigofera galegoides as per GBIF Specimen Flora of China POWO To me, it is Indigofera galegoides References: POWO Catalogue of Life The Plant List Ver.1.1 ILDIS GBIF (High resolution specimens) Specimen Flora of China FOC illustration India Biodiversity Portal Useful Tropical Plants Thailand Nature Project |
