Yes – one of the indigenous species of *Erythrina* genus – i'll have to check if i can identify to species with only these leaves, eg. *Erythrina vespertilio* will be one candidate species name .

Quick names and herbaria' specimens searches' references i am using :

• Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) :

By the way, the features in these photographs clearly enough do key out to this species: Erythrina vespertilio !
