Thank you saltcedar.
I have a book and it looked like the pic of Mucuna macrocarpa. However, searching on www none of the images looked right.
With your help and links I found Mucuna birdwoodiana that seem to fit very neatly.

Do hope that you will be able to help with more plants ids that I will trickle feed to UBC!

 

Sorry I propagated the misspelling! Do you think it's introduced in India or have
you just increased it's known range?

 

Guess we will never know!
I suspect it is an introduction.
I was seeing plants that I think came from all over the world.

 

I hope you can bring back seeds.

 

Thanks for posting - it is a very interesting plant.

 

No seeds brought back!
Just memories and 5,000 plus pics.
Still editing them
