User's notes

This is the same species as sighting https://hunter.naturemapr.org/sightings/4444058 I believe. Still no sign of flowers or seedpods, but based on the descriptions on plantnet I think it could be Kennedia procurrens or K. retrorsa. The latter is known the occur in the region but rugose leaf surface matches former better? Leaves seem slightly too elliptic for K. prostrata. But still no convincing id.

Yeah this definitely looks like Fabaceae, Kennedia seems okay, not really sure?
