This is in the new section (not so new) section of Isaacs Ridge Nature Reserve.

A bit of an ask to ID it just from the flowers! I have looked at lots of photos of that species. The flowers are extremely variable in shape. Not one of these photos show the pouch at the back like your photo does, not even John Tann, who is at NSW Environment and Conservation in Sydney, and he is usually extremely thorough.

It might not be the best photo of the leaves, but it could help.
