Flower ID help: Location: Makunda Christian Hospital campus, Karimganj District, Assam Date: 2nd October 2010 Equipment: Nikon D300s with Nikkor AF 70-300mm VR lens The flower (?inflorescence) is about 2 feet tall. I found it on the side of a jungle path along the side of a hillock (about 40 m tall). How about Uraria crinita? (http://www.hkwildlife.net/viewthread.php?tid=3034). B'cos I am sure its not U. picta, which has linear, painted leaflets and narrower raceme. I am no botanist ! However, please find enclosed a picture showing the leaves of the plant. Please let me know the species I think .. is right. Attaching herewith a paper for your reference. Attachments (1)
