Yes , this should be Flemingia strobilifera (L.) R.Br.ex Ait. as per ref. from   Dr Almeida's flora. Other common names besides kanphuti are Clipti, Bunder. Nice pictures Ragini ji. Thanks.

Rashida.

A reply from Giby ji:

"Yes, I think Pankkaj ji is correct. Most probably it is  F. strobilifera

Sorry for the typo in my previous mail, Ranjini ji . It will be great to see the flowers inside these bracts !
