On checking with keys in flora of Bhutan lead me to Indigofera bracteata Graham ex Baker. It matches as per description given herein as below:

"14. I. bracteata Baker
Similar to 1. hebeperala but stems prostrate or trailing; leaves 4-9cm, leaflets 5-7, elliptic or obovate, l—3><0.5—l.2cm, obtuse, base cuneate, glabrous or weakly appressed pubescent on upper surface, more strongly appressed pubescent beneath; stipules subulate 2—3mm, i persistent; racemes 7—20cm bearing flowers in upper half of rachis, naked below, bracts elliptic 4-6>< 2mm ; calyx c 2mm, teeth short and broad; petals purple, standard broadly elliptic, c 10><6mm, wings and keel c 10><2.5mm; pods
(immature) linear, glabrous, deflexed.
Bhutan/Chumbi frontier: Sharna to Choidiponkay; Sikkim. 2800m. July."

It also matches with the description given in Flora of China and as per FOC illustration along with specimens in GBIF. Also see Checklist of Nepal.

Could not find any image on net.
