Please identiy this small herb 2 - NS 080911

[Neil Soares]

Hi,  Photographed at my farm at Shahpur last weekend. Again a small herb [20 - 30 cms tall] in open grasslands with minute flowers about 4mm in size.  Could this be a species of Indigofera [possibly I.linifolia] ?                   Thanks,                          With regards,                            Neil Soares.

[Dinesh Valke]

... my belief too, Indigofera linifolia.
Regards.

The leaves are much more linear in this species and are glabrous, where as what i found at Kalina campus, Mumbai is a bit different .

I think the leaves are variable in shape and size.
FoC describes that the leaves are "...usually linear but sometimes elliptic to ovate-elliptic...".

Yes Vijayasankar jee variation in leaf shape can happen and also hairiness vary according to season and locality.
