User's notes

Found in heathland. There were many of these plants but this was the only one with flowers. Warty, hairy, rough-feeling leaves held close to branchlets. Strongly incurved leaves (perhaps involute). Flowers very similar in colour, size and shape to Dillwynia phylicoides (also flowering nearby) but leaves longer, to approx. 12mm long. Some leaves showed minor twisting but not as prominent as in D. phylicoides. Main branchlets arose from a central area at ground level.
