Shrub from Ladakh for ID (23/06/2011 NSJ-01): Identification of a shrub from Nubra valley, Ladakh is requested.
Medicago falcata but pods will give better idea strongly curved
I can count only two leaflets and looking at the inflorescence I would personally go with Lathyrus pratensis.
Perhaps Medicago falcata is a better choice. Several leaves with 3 leaflets are seen in second and third photograph.
