User's notes
I suppose this is G. clandestina, but it is quite different to others I've found (within a couple of meters of this sighting and elsewhere). These flowers are much bigger, there are more oval shaped than linear leaves, a distinct lack of the typical 3 linear leaflets, and no evidence of twining - more scrambling. Natural variation?

Hit the wrong button the first time, looks different as this is a different species! Hoveas have a paler flower colour plus the leaves are larger and lack the tri-foliate form

I've looked at too many photos today - I should have realised that Hovea was a possibility having photographed a couple in the last week.
