Herb for Id | 02July11AR01: The flower and leaflet structure of the plant draw close to Smithia sensitiva, Fabaceae. Date/Time-07 Nov 2010 Location- Place, Altitude, GPS- Chandagal Village, Mysore dist. Habitat- Garden/ Urban/ Wild/ Type-, Wild Plant Habit- Tree/ Shrub/ Climber/ Herb-Herb Height/Length-approx - 1.5 ft, 1-1.43 feet, hairy stem Leaves Type/ Shape/ Size- Shape -Leaflet-- 7 to 15pairs, 1.5cms, margin smooth, Flowers Size/ Colour/ Calyx/ Bracts-1-1.5cms, Yellow, If its carpeting the floor its most likely Smithia sensitiva... and not sesbania which are mostly erect bush or herb or tree.... and seedpods asre different anatomically.... did you see seedpods? photoged? As there are many species in Smithia its difficult to id with some photos, but surely some Smithia sp. (may be S. sensitiva i guess), not Sesbania or Aeschynomene (they are erect herbs or undershrubs) S. sensitiva of Leguminosae would be the most probable choice.
