Dear Balkar ji,

Though i have never came acroos this plant but literature study seems to support that this is "Strawberry Clover" or Trifolium fragiferum L.

Kindly try to match with this description Sir.

Leaves. Alternate, spiral, compound, ternate, stipulate (adnate to the petiole), petiolate, petiole 17–163 mm long. Leaflet blade 5–30 mm long, 4.5–18 mm wide, elliptic or obovate, base tapering, margins serrate or dentate, apex obtuse or retuse. Blade sparsely hairy.

Flowers. Dense in spikes or in racemes (10–30 -flowered); predominantly white or pink, very irregular, subsessile, pedicel 0–1 mm long, perianth 2 -whorled. Calyx 3.5–4 mm long, 5 sepals, all sepals joined. Corolla 4.5–8 mm long, 5 petals, some petals joined. Stamens 10, free of the perianth, both opposite and alternating with the corolla parts, coherent to each other (9 fused, 1 free). Anthers dehiscing via longitudinal slits. Ovary monomerous, superior, 1 -celled. Ovules 1–12 per cell. Styles 1, simple.

Fruit. Indehiscent, a legume (enclosed by inflated calyx), non-fleshy, 1.5–2 mm long, 0.8–1 mm wide.
