Attaching pictures of a plant seen in the pine savannah landscape of Binsar, Uttarakhand, at about 2000 mts. It was about two feet tall. At first I thought the inflorescence was shiny with dew, but upon touching left an odourless oily substance on my hand. Leaves looked like they were trifoliate. I would be very greatful for any help towards its identification. 

Regards,
Pallavi

Looks to be a Uraria sp.

Dear Saroj ji,

It is most likely Uraria lagopodioides, thank you for the identification. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I wonder what the sticky oily substance was on the inflorescence. It was shining like dew in the sunlight. I will read more about it. 

Thank you.
