This could be an aberrant Dodonaea viscosa. A couple of the leaves are shiny. Dodonaea viscosa leaves are usually shiny and sticky. Your closeup in photo 2 shows male flowers. Photo 3 shows a developing seed case. Dodonaea viscosa usually has male and female flowers on different plants, occasionally male and bisexual flowers on the same plant, as here.

I only picked up the typos in the fact sheet yesterday. The process of creating the app is too far forwad to do anything about it.
Don’t apologise about the quality of the photos. You have to have a very good camera these days to take better photos than a phone.
