Hardenbergia sp.
small flower perhaps 7mm. Sparse plant, low growing among grass and open scrub on clay, stony soil. Large oval leaves also very sparse on a slender stem.
All of the local references say that the species hereabouts is the one named but the flowers on this vines are sparse and the leaves are more rounded so I suggest this is a local sub-species possibly overlooked by the various references or another species altogether. This was also a late summer plant and in the book it is Spring flowering Also Purple Pea Flower (Reader's Digest. Gardeners's Encyclopedia)
