Habitat: Rocky slope 
Habitat: Herb

When I searched Desmodium sp. in POWO, I thought it was Desmodium ochroleucum but its distribution in India is not shown in POWO map.

Thank you

Yes, it appears so.
But I could not find any match as per comparative images at

Thank you Garg ji & Saroj ji. 

Garg ji this is different. I think Saroj ji is right (Genus Hylodesmum) but I am not sure about the species, because its pods are 2-6 lobed and  twisted. 
I have attached 1 more image of its pod.

It may be Desmodium procumbens which is an introduced species in India.
