Thank you Neil Sir for the ID suggestion. Attaching two more photos, one from the same plant - xx_28nov12_DSCN7996.jpg.
This looks like our common vegetable SIM (lablab) as can be seen in the second pic, vegetable_Lablab_purpureus_29nov12_DSCN8204. jpg.

surajit

Neil Sir,

A correction, or further clarification, this looks like the vegetable which we call SIM in Bengali, but it is not Lablab (Dolichos lablab L.) for sure. This plant has much smaller leaves and pods.

Thank you & Regards,

surajit

The fruits look much like Lablab purpureus. If it is purely wild, then it could be Dolichos trilobus.

Thank you very much Vijay Sir, it is purely wild, I visited this plant twice to check if it could be a Lablab purpureus, but I think not. Compared to L. p. it is a lilliput or pigmy. Soil nutrients won't be a factor. I think it roughly satisfies all characters described in FBI & FI combined, including peduncle to petiole ratio.

Regards
