I doubt it to be Sesbania sesban, which never has more than 40-50 leaflets. The second and third photographs I fear belong to S. bispinosa.

Gurcharan ji, I may have messed up ID of the plants you are referring.
I can only recollect to have merely checked whether the stem / branches have spines.

Your key related to number of leaflets would clearly overrule my ID.
Thus would need to revise my notes.

Will check my archive and revert for any queries.

Regards.

Dear friends,

Please disregard my initial post in this thread showing posted plants as Sesbania sesban. They should be S. bispinosa.
You may take a look at https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/indiantreepix/xlLghP3ytaI where Gurcharan ji has posted S. sesban.

Many thanks Gurcharan ji, for pointing to the wrong identification in this thread.

Regards.
Dinesh
