Dear Pravin ji,

I too had come across one similar type of herb at "Galana Fort" in Dhule region. I am enclosing my photographs. I am not too sure, but just trying to recollect that  some one mentioning that this could be some sp. of "polygala". may be Polygala elongata.  Our friends can comment on this..

best wishes
Prashant..

... few months back I had queried for a plant similar to this one, which I had found growing in a untended lawn. The flowers just about 3 - 4 mm would hardly remain over an hour.
¿ Stylanthes (hamata) ?
 
Reagrds.

Hello all
i think the pix posted by Pravin ji is some Crotalaria species may be
C. linifolia
the pic posted by Prasant Ji is certainly Polygala arvensis

please correct me if i am incorrect

There is quite a lot of confusion between Polygala elongata Klein ex Willd. and Polygala arvensis Willd. as both species appear to be quite close.

Keys are available at

Flora of Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India (2000- Description & Keys- Polygala erioptera, elongata, rosmarinifolia, arvensis & chinensis) 

Flora of Eastern Ghats: Hill Ranges of South East India, Volume 1 By T. Pullaiah, D. Muralidhara Rao, K. Sri Ramamurthy (2002)

As raceme is long, I feel it may be Polygala elongata Klein ex Willd. Also middle petal seems to be obovate as in this species and not orbicular as in Polygala arvensis Willd. as per Flora of Peninsular India 

Pl. confirm

Thanks, Lalithamba ji.
But Polygala glomerata (syn: P. chinensis) is different as per images and details herein.
Now I am sure of its id as Polygala glaucoides (syn: Polygala elongata Klein ex Willd.) as per images and details herein.
