Small plant with flat pods seen at Gangapur Grasslands on 15th Oct,15.
There were no flowers when the picture was taken.
Unfortunately, I have only one picture.
Leaves very close to Mimosa Species.
it is Cassia sps
Thanks for the id.
... too has suggested Cassia mimosoides or Cassia pumila.
Will try to locate the plant and see if I can capture it flowering.
This should be Neptunia triquetra (Vahl) Benth.
