I feel like the blind men with the elephant with these photos. I can see bits of the plant but have no idea what the whole thing looks like. I cannot count the number of leaflets in a leaf or see the stipules at the base of the leaf because I cannot see the attachment of the leaf to the plant stem. It is difficult to count the nember of flowers because of the funny angle the photo was taken at.

John Briggs says This second photo you have sent is, I am sure, that of Swainsona sericea. The small number of flowers clustered at the end of the main flower stalk is the best clue. The leaf shape and flower colour also fit well with S. sericea."
