This photo shows the flower colour, the fact that the flowers are in clusters, and the shapes of the leaflets and their relation to each other. That goes some way towards making a positive ID.

I had not noticed that I had pressed the wrong button with my first suggestion. I intended Cullen microcephalum.

Thank you. What is the main distinguishing feature between Cullen tenax and micocephalum?

Microcephalum has three leaflets 2-7 cm long x 10-20 mm wide, arranged as in your photo. Tenax has 5-7 leaflets, occasionally with three near the base of the plant. Its leaflets are 1-8 cm long x 2-15 mm wide, and all diverge from one point and usually point forward.
