It looks more like a swainsona - monticola or behriana possibly. The leaves on a hovea are different.

There are not enough leaflets and they are not notched at the end, so it is not monicola. The last leaflet on some of the leaves is bigger than the others which is diagnostic of S. sericea rather than berhriana. Clubfed I will be sending this sighting onto NSW National Parks as S. sericea is listed as a vulnerable species in NSW, Good spotting.
