... most possibly species of Desmodium.

The first two pictures remind of Desmodium gangeticum (let us wait for comments)
The leaves of plant in last picture IMG_0031 aa.jpg seems to have more of obtuse apex ... is that a different plant ?
Regards.

I think Desmodium gangeticum of Leguminose family.

Hi Mohina,

Nice photographs !! Sorry for coming in late but was at Shahapur. Just for the record - both are herbs [not shrubs], while this in a perennial erect herb, Leea macrophylla is an annual. My photographs of both are on the net, but may send some more later.

Regards,

Neil.

... yes from my side (referring to the singled out IMG_0031 aa.jpg) ... only that, to me the obtuse-ended leaves is new (or may have not paid attention earlier).
Regards.
