Yes Saroj ji its definitely Campylotropis sp.

It is either Campylotropis speciosa subsp. speciosa or can be Campylotropis stenocarpa but i don't think its C. speciosa subsp. eriocarpa because that one should be much hairy.

Best regards
Ashutosh Sharma

I could not find keys listing all three species as mentioned in Checklist of Nepal, either in Flora of Pakistan, or in Flora of China or in Flora of Bhutan.

Keys did not become clear until I saw the specimens in GBIF (with specimen link) as below:

Flora of Pakistan gives the following keys [added important keys from description]:
1Raceme sessile, (bracts persistent) [Inflorescence axillary raceme, c. 3.8 cm long] Campylotropis stenocarpa
+Raceme pedunculate (2)
    
2 (1)Stipules 3.5-6.5 mm long, bract c. 2 mm long. Fruit with a persistent style base 2.5 mm long Campylotropis meeboldii
+Stipules c. 3 mm long, bract c. 2.5 mm long. Fruit with a persistent style base 7-10 mm long [Inflorescence axillary pedunculate racemes appearing like panicle in the fruiting stage; peduncle 3-8 mm long] Campylotropis macrostyla

Flora of China for Campylotropis speciosa (Royle ex Schindler) Schindler subsp. eriocarpa (Schindler) Iokawa & H. Ohashi (syn: Campylotropis eriocarpa Schindler) mentions racemes 2.5-20 cm; rachis and pedicels densely appressed or ascending shortly hairy. Flora of Bhutan mentions racemes many flowered , 5-12 cm. There seems to be some confusion w.r.t. its nomenclature as Check list of Nepal gives Campylotropis speciosa (Royle ex Schindl.) Schindl. (syn: Campylotropis eriocarpa Schindl.; Campylotropis macrostyla var. eriocarpa (Maxim.) H. Ohashi) almost same as in Flora of Bhutan. Catalogue of Life mentions only two: 1. Campylotropis eriocarpa (DC.) Schindl.(syn:  Lespedeza eriocarpa DC.; Lespedeza indica Schindl.) based on ILDIS with distribution in India only.  2. Campylotropis speciosa (Schindl.)Schindl. (syn: Campylotropis macrostyla var. eriocarpa (Maxim.)H.Ohashi; Lespedeza eriocarpa auct. non DC. (ambiguous synonym); Lespedeza speciosa Schindl. (ambiguous synonym)) based on ILDIS with distribution in Bhutan, India &  Nepal only;     

In view of above, I take this post as Campylotropis speciosa (Royle ex Schindl.) Schindl.
