On 11/10/09 in Ananthagiri HIll forest in Rangareddy district of Andhra Pradesh.
Please check with Rhyncosia aurea of Fabaceae.
Thanks, ...,
Rhyncosia aurea is a syn. of Rhyncosia capitata as per link:
& seems to differ form my posted pictures as per links:
and also not there in Forest Flora of AP as per link:

It appears like Rhynchosia minima L. (DC.) as per links:
Pl. confirm.
On further checking, I find it more closer to images at Rhynchosia suaveolens (L.f.) DC.
