Osudu  Puducherry Date: October 14, 2019 ... Altitude range: about 15 m (50 feet) asl

Crotalaria ¿ species ? / else   Dear friends, A tiny crotalaria - just about 8mm across. The plant is a low-lying spreading herb. The leaves seem to be trifoliate, appears wilted. Hope these photos help to reach ID. I have posted this query at facebook; Kasim ji has suggested Crotalaria trifoliastrum. I am not sure about it. If these photos help, I will be glad to get the ID. Could not find any match at FoI and eFI.

Regards. Dinesh

Thanks Garg ji and Kasim ji.

Only deterring point is that the plant is prostrate versus described as erect for trifoliatus / medicaginea. It is possible that the posted plant is prostrate because it may be starving. The leaves too are wilted.

On other hand, Crotalaria orixensis suggested by Paradesi ji seems to be much closer match to illustration in Digital Flora of Eastern Ghats.

Absence of stipule and foliaceus  bracts, leaf opposed inflorescence , number flowers do not go in favour of C orixensis

Thanks very much Kasim ji. I did not look into these characteristics at all.

You must have already analysed the aspects available in the pictures; and perhaps some relevant ones could be missing.

I will label the photos as Crotalaria trifoliastrum.

Thanks very much, Garg ji.

Regards.
