Abstract:
Indigofera hirsuta an annual weed of the family Fabaceae, collected from Mayurbhanj and Balasore districts of Odisha is reported here as a new addition to the flora of Odisha. The plant resembles very close to Indigofera astragalina, but the former is densely hirsuited with brown hairs on petals, sepals and fruits along with a longer peduncle giving a distinct morphological feature. The species I. hirsuta has multifarious ethnomedicinal properties. A detailed description with photographs, habitat and phenology of the species are provided for easy identification.
