If wild it may be Crotalaria tetragona.

I also agree with Rawat ji. However check with sun hemp. ie: Crotalaria juncea.

Yes, these two species (C.tetragona and C.juncea) are similar. These are differentiated by Duthie in Flora of Upper Gangetic Plains as:

Branches angular, pods brown, velvety....................................... C.tetragona

Branches, sulcate, pods clothed with persistent silky hairs........... C.juncea

C.juncea is a cultivated species in hills while C.tetragona is completely wild. However, C.tetragona is not known westward to Uttarakhand as mentioned by Sanjappa (1992).Another pont is that both of these species are not known in temperate Himalaya (species was recorded by Nidhan Ji near Simla, HP).

Thanks for valuable discussion Rawat Ji and Krishnaraj Ji..

Though I am aware it is not possible to conclude id based on these pics, I will try to get information about the exact location so that wild or escape status can be decided..
