Some relevant points from the link:

 

http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/plantbiology/ncsc/vulpia/pdf/Duno%20et%20al,%20Centrosema%20&%20Clitoria.pdf

 

"...Morphologically, a very plastic species frequently confused with

Centrosema pubescens Benth. and C. virginianum, especially in fruiting specimens which lack flowers with the bracteole and calyx. It is distinguished from C. virginianum by the unequal calyx teeth, broader fruit, and bracteoles that are typically 1/3–2/3 densely uncinate-pubescent on the ventral portion of the surface. Centrosema pubescens is found commonly at higher elevations..."

And some more info:

Thothathri, K. & Prasad, R. 1970. "On

Centrosema virginianum (Linn.) Benth. in India". Curr. Sci. 39 (15): 353.

Abst.-

Centrosema virginianum (Linn.) Benth. a perennial climber has been found growing as an escape in Pasighat, 24-Parganas district, West Bengal under wild condition. Its occurring therefore constitutes a second record of this plant in a wild condition and first of its kind in West Bengal. It is remarkable that the plant has made its appearance after more than 100 years when it first came to India as a cultigen in the Shibpur Botanical garden, Howrah.
