Indigofera tinctoria SN Aug 13 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3). Indigofera tinctoria L. wild weed (Cosmetic medicinal herb, used as food colour) from Mangalore area of Karnataka Looks different from images of Indigofera tinctoria at Wikipedia & efi thread. It may be some other species. Appears close to images at Indigofera suffruticosa Mill. Chances of Indigofera cassioides DC. are higher because leaflets in images are 13-15, leaf apex emarginate or obtuse, pods appear to be straight. Indigofera tinctoria - leaflets 7-11, obtuse or apiculate. Indigofera suffruticosa - leaflets 11-15(-19), apex acute to rarely rounded and racemes not more than 3cm. In the image the leaves are not emarginate, it appears as emarginate. leaflet colour, number are showing the typical indigofera tinctoria features. The observation is made in the early season of the herb, so the flowers are not well developed. the number of leaflets and the phyllotoxy of the leaflet are matching with Indigofera tinctoria. There are variation in the same herb from place to place. Please find the images of Indigofera tinctoria observed recently from Madanapalli area of AP. Attachments (2) Thanks, ... But size of inflorescence is too small compared to size of the leaves. Due to some environmental stress most of the places the inflorescence is stunted. You can refer the inflorescence of AP image.

Couple of Pravin Kawale ji's posts seem to have plants very similar to what I am posting. The posted plant is about a metre high bushy shrub, and is as wide, growing near creek, on large bund of paddy field.

Pl. also check Indigofera suffruticosa Mill. (though ILDIS does not show any distribution here) as per comparative images at Indigofera to me it is not Indigofera tinctoria; more close to Indigofera suffruticosa I think more closer to images, distribution and details at Indigofera tinctoria Pl. also see for differences between the two: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigofera_suffruticosa#/media/File:Indigofera_suffruticosa_-_K%C3%B6hler%E2%80%93s_Medizinal-Pflanzen-076.jpg
Which indigophera? Local Mar.name is Govardhan At kanakeshwar, Alibag most probably Indigofera coerulea Roxb. I think more closer to images, distribution and details at Indigofera tinctoria this is Indigofera coerulea from Fabaceae. observed this at Gorai, Mumbai I. coerulea have 5 to 9 leaflets, rarely 11. I can observe 13 leaflets here.
Requesting to please ID this shrub captured near Devgad, Maharashtra in May 2014. Is this some Indigofera species? Indigofera tinctoria to me, Fabaceae Please mention flowering time and habitatThe plant was growing wild in the backyard of a house. This was clicked in May 2014... this could be Indigofera coerulea .. Could it be Tephrosia purpurea? Kolinjil in Malayalam. It might be Indigofera suffruticosa If we have fruit also for this taxon, can identify perfectly. For Indigofera tinctoria, pods are long and recurved. But the closely allied (but often misidentified) one namely Indigofera longiracemosa has small pods. I think this taxon is I. tinctoria L. Thank you ... for the feedback. Attaching herewith cropped pic of the earlier posed pics to show the pods... Attachments (1) this picture doesn't show any mature pods and is rather misleading. There are several posts of Indigofera suffruticosa in the archives of eFlora which seem to match your plant. Thanks, ... for the explanation. I thought there were pods at the bottom of the pic that I posted today. Thanks ... for the ID as well. I was initially confused, but I. suffruticosa and I. tinctoria seem to be synonyms. Is this correct? AS far as I know they are not synonyms. Sir David Prain, in his 'Bengal Plants', divides Indigofera tinctoria L. into two - i) leaflets hardly longer than broad; racemes shorter than leaves = tinctoria = "Chota Nagpur; Behar; rare, not cultivated in our area" (Prain) ii) leaflets longer than broad; racemes as long as leaves = sumatrana = "cultivated, chiefly Tirhut; occasionally spontaneous in Tamarisk jungles and on river banks... Bengal indigo" (Prain) FoP informs I. tinctoria leaflets alternate - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=116399#KEY-1-7 To my understanding, we can rule out tinctoria. FoC infoms I. suffruticosa Mill. is 11 to 19 foliolate. In this set only one or two leaves have 11 leaflets; mostly 5 to 9. There is Indigofera caerulea - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=116399#KEY-1-22 and there is Indigofera coerulea Roxb. - http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/ild-3769 Roxburgh's plant is in http://linnean-online.org/45121/ and in http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=129885.
