This is Comesperma, with flowers that sort of look like peas. At this altitude, I would expect Comesperma retusum, which has flat or slightly keeled leaves. However, unexpectedly, it appears that the leaf edges are curled down, which should make it Comesperma ericinum.

There are preserved specimens from this area (the records are listed in ALA), and the pointed leaf tips indicate that it is Comesperma ericinum.
