I will add it to the suggestions. The leaves look about OK from what I can see of them.

I don’t know what I was dreaming about when I suggested Dillwynia prostrata.

I think it was that we were identifying Dillwynia on our property and it was my suggestion originally. I will have to learn the difference between all the legumes as flower, leaf and size is not enough. I am now looking at fruit shape as well. Any other suggestions on what to look for appreciated.

Plantnet no longer has a key to the genera of peas. The first cut of the Vicflora key to the subfamily Faboideaea (peas) is whether all the leaves are compound with two or more leaflets or not. So leaves are important. Other characters several leads down are whether all 10 stamens are free from each other or whether 9 or 10 of them are fused into a tube. Lift the keel petals in the middle of the flower up and you will find the stamens and style (female part of the flower). Only then in this half of the key do they use whether the plants are woody or not, or upright or low growing. You should probably have a go at it yourself, preferably with a split screen so you can use the glossary at the same time. Type in Fabaceae in the Search field at the too right of the screen, click on the single search result, Fabaceae, scroll down to Faboideae, and click on Key to the genera of Faboideae on a brown background. Once in the key, there are two arrowed circles near the middle of the top line. The left one takes you back a screen, the right one to the beginning of the key.
A couple of shortcuts. Dillwynia almost always has a standard (topmost) petal much wider than high. Daviesia pods are tringular, and the foliage tases bitter. From then on, it is a matter of getting to know things on sight. Good luck!
