Margaret said the stem/leaf structure was what distinguished it. I see Margaret and the plant on the 26th so I’ll sort it out then. Obviously it will be a lot easier to confirm when the plant matures a bit. 😊
There is a bit about stem/leaf structure here.

Also iNat morphology description seems consistent with my plant.

Pictures of leaves that are sort of similar although mine is broader at the top of the leaf - see links below. The iNat pic is the one that looks most similar I think.

In the iNat photo see leaf in lower leaf hand corner - it’s rounded - not pointy

To put my thoughts in. I think without a doubt this is in fabaceae and with rounded trifoliate leaves it can't really be in any other family. Of the locally occuring peas that exhibit this kind of habit, there is only really one option that being Glycine tabacina. Lisa's comments are completely correct here re. leaf shape and we also have Margaret's opinion which cannot be disregarded. I've got images of this rounded leaf form myself, there's actually some growing a few metres from my house (which i'd put up but i'm in New Zealand at the moment).

Interesting, thanks for your input all. Quite different from what I'm used to seeing of this species.

The stipels help to distinguish Glycine tab from Grona varians. All three pairs are reasonably obvious in Lisa's image. Leaf shapes can vary for both these species. Margaret
