Kindly help to identify the species. 
The genus is Mimosa.
I have checked the key on efloraofindia site. But it is confusing for a layman like me. 
Can anybody suggest tips for identification in the field. When I visit the place next time I can look for those distinguishing characteristics.  
I can post more photos if it helps in identifying the species.

Hi, Vinay ji,
Can you show us the number of pinnae in a leaf clearly, to go through the keys and finally decide on the species ?

Dear Mr. Garg
I counted the pinnae at few places. The average is 13 to 16 pairs.
I am also attaching two photos for your reference. 
If this is not sufficient I will do another field trip in future.

I will also go with Rakesh ji and Saroj ji for Mimosa rubicaulis Lam. 
Pinnae should be 4 to 6.

Hi, Tamboli ji,
You can check observations at Mimosa rubicaulis and try to find out yourself.
