I attach more flower pics.

Thank you.

I can see both yellow and mottled flowers. The standard is again broader than long. What about S. cannabina?

Good morning Sir,

I also think this is Sesbania cannabina cultivar.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Sir,

Attaching more images of this species, recorded this morning. It is cultivated, the owner appointed a daily labourer today in order to harvest the crop. I have been told (by the labourer) that this is DHONCHE plant and the plant is also used as a cattle feed (probably chopped and boiled). Uses of Sesbania can be seen at - http://www.lrrd.org/lrrd21/5/anit21067.htm and at - http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?33763#uses.

Thank you & Regards,

surajit

I think it should be Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr. based on the keys in Flora of China
