Leaves seem to hairy to be behrianna, but it’s a little hard to tell from the photos. Might be best as swainsona sp .

Thanks. I just added some more leaves. I looked at images of both species and find it hard to side with one or the other.

Pretty hard to tell the difference between sericea and behriana even when you have them in hand. Locally I find that the leaves of behriana tend to stick up (like in this record) while sericea tend to hug the ground more.
