By seeing the brown tomentum, i guess it could be either Mucuna or Pueraria species. But let's wait for flowers. By the way did u get any info on presence of tuber in this plant, Muthu?

Dear All,
This can be Mucuna sp but not sure about the species, prescence of fruit could have narrowed down the search. If there is any information about the fruits with Muthu ji  kindly provide it.

Dear all,
This plant is Mucuna sp. only. I taken these photographs from the same location. Please help in narrowing down to species. Could this be Mucuna atropurpurea DC.
