Sir, at the first sight I had thought that these two are same plants..
but it seems to my untrained eyes that the leaves, flower colour and
inflorescence are different... Hence my confusion, because I have not as
yet learned to recognise or even identify the features of various
families......

Thank you, Gurcharan ji and Balkar ji...

Desmodium elegans

EXTREMELY SORRY SIR!!

A goof up from my side.... The photographs posted in the original WERE
DIFFERENT PLANT....

but I had tried (at that time) to look for the plant again to verify and
I realise that I ended up measuring a different plant whose flowers
looked similar to the flower in the original observation posted in the
forum...

Here I send the two comparative photographs of the two plants....

where... 'Desmodium first observation.jpg' are the images posted with
the observation 'al130911' originally ... and...

Desmodium2.jpg are the images posted by me mistakenly today... but
measured and thought to be Desmodium elegans

But there was a third time I had photographed a similar flower and the
leaves appear to me different too... posting that as Desmodium3...

NOW I AM CONFUSED...!!

regards
Alok

[Gurcharan Singh]

And now Alok ji, I am confused

It would be better if you relate fruits, leaves and flowers exactly from the concerned plants and post them separately. The leaves are different in two and are there for most of the year. It would be ideal to keep them as index and look for flowers and fruits accordingly

I think this is more closer to images at Desmodium confertum DC. rather than those at Desmodium elegans DC.
