Is Indian Gooseberry (Amla) a leguminous, nitrogen fixer plant?

The leaf structure, arrangement seems to indicate so. I am not sure. Any pointer would be helpful.

Given that the genus for Amla (Phyllanthus) is not in the Fabaceae family, then it is not a legume. As your link shows, it is in the Phyllanthaceae, which is not a known nitrogen-fixing family.
