Location: Kalimpong, WB, India Date: 9 May 2018 Altitude: 4100 ft. Habit : May be wild. Which Fabaceae ?? It is Indigofera heterantha Wallich ex Brandis - Himalayan indigo Looks different from images at Indigofera heterantha To me it seems to be Hedysarum campylocarpon. Plate 30 of The Flowers of The Himalaya by Polulin and Stainton refers. I guess it is not matching. did you get a flower and dissect it? secondly with so many flowers, were there any seed pods? I thought it would be easy to identify so did not give much attention about fruit pods. By the way, image 4 and 5 shows slight indication of fruiting stage. Indigofera stachyodes Lindl. ?? Thanks, ..., for the id. To me also appear close to Indigofera stachyodes as per Thank you ...! By the way this is not listed in Nepal.
