Hello Dear members,
I posted this Double Paired Smithia yesterday. Tabish Ji from "Flowers of India" told me that it is Smithia setulosa and not Smithia bigemina. In his words " Double Paired Smithia has 4 leaflets grouped together ".
Plz conform.

Nehaji, S. bigemina is a low herb(5-10 cm) with tiny flowers and S.
setulosa is a tall herb (1-1.5 m) found on hills which blooms in
October. This is a small erect herb ( 10-20 cm) with flowers in short
racemes. From location, season and general appearance his would be S.
hirsuta. For a specific justfication of ID from calyx and leaflets a
specimen would be necessary. Regards, Shrikant

Yes Shrikant ji may be right. S. bigemina has 4 leaflets, S. setulosa 10-12 large leaflets and flowers in panicled secund racemes. S. hirsuta has 6-10 leaflets (8 leaflets are seen in most leaves here), also plant is slender, leaflets smaller and flowers in close secund corymbs.
Close ups of calyx are needed for further verification.
