Dear Paradesi ji,
Thank you for your mail.  Similarity, but dissimilarities mainly the beauty. Please notice Heterophyllum's main pettal have violet lines from bottom to middle and white patches in bottom either side.  So I disagree.
With regards,

I agree with you Sam Ji, but within the species, many colour variations are there in mature stage since it open, I am thinking it's just open flower pic, after mature or pollination will be petals fade, in this condition seems like have white patches and the time bullet nerves will highlight.

If still, you're not compromising, let us know which one is correct when identified,
With regards.

Thanks Santhosh Kumar ji,
I was not aware of D. heterophyllum .!!! 
Though it looks quite similar to D. triflorum, the leaflets of D. heterophyllum seem elongated compared to almost roundish in case of D. triflorum.
Regards.

Thank you very much Gurcharan ji, for the key.
I was totally wrong with my expression !! The keys show the differences clearly.
Thank you very much.

hence based on the key it should be Desmodium heterophyllum; the flower colour is pink to white in D.triflorum and heterophyllum

Dear Paradesi ji, 
Thank you, thank you very much for your advice.  See, I am a very beginner, I also favour to your future advise to me. And I noticed the said flower's pollination process done within ten'o clock morning and as soon as the main petal closed. So I cannot see the flower after 11.00 as petal opened. I understand this after observation of some days. And I sure to inform after confirmation.
With best regards,

Dear Garg ji and all members,
Thank you very much for identified my weed plant.  I agreed it as Desmodium heterophylla.
