Could anyone please identify this plant. It is about 2 or 3 foot high, each leaf approx an inch long. It seems very slow growing at present. I can't remember planting it and I have no label that looks similar! It is quite a light green (the spots on it are raindrops). I hope I haven't been nurturing a weed. Thank you.

The family is probably Fabaceae if that's any help. Perhaps some kind of clover?

Could it be Coronilla citrinus?

Don't recognise it as a weed anyway. Be nice it it does turn out to be a Coronilla!

Thank you. I've googled Coronilla and my leaves seem rather more pointed than those I've seen there. It is rather a lax stemmed plant too. I will keep it and wait to see if any flowers appear - fingers crossed.

If it has a rich cinnamon coloured, stem/trunk which has thin flaking/peeling layers and rather brittle branches - it could be a young polylepis australis (although possibly not the "tall form" of it).

How do I say thanks?
