... this looks like Desmodium heterocarpon ... not sure if it is a different species in north-east.

... this plant (Makunda Flowers-37A.jpg) must be Nymphoides indicum.

... forwarding Vijay ji's response to my guess of Desmodium heterocarpon for Makunda Flowers-36B.jpg

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The flower (?inflorescence) is about 2 feet tall. I found it on the side of a jungle path along the side of a hillock (about 40 m tall).

Vijay ji ... looks like your plant may be far from my guess of Desmodium heterocarpon.
Let us wait for comments.

How about Uraria crinita? (http://www.hkwildlife.net/viewthread.php?tid=3034).
B'cos I am sure its not U. picta, which has linear, painted leaflets and narrower raceme.

Vijayasankar ji,
May be you are right. As the leaves are not clearly visible in the
first picture, Vijay Anand ji might be able to tell the actual
situation. I also go with your id.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Thanks to all of you for enlightening me. I will relabel this picture as Uraria crinita. It had earlier been identified as Desmodium heterocarpon. It is a pleasure to get information from experts. With regards, Vijay --- On Mon, 8/8/11, Ritesh Kumar Choudhary <rites...@gmail.com> wrote:
