It does not look like Leptodesmia congesta Baker (= Desmodium congestum (Wight) Benth., Nicolsonia congesta Wight), which is illustrated at http://plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=34985&mobile=0&code_category_taxon=
It is also not Desmodium congestum Wight & Arn. (= Dendrolobium triangulare (Retz.) Schindl.), as per the diagram at http://www.plantillustrations.org/illustration.php?id_illustration=129728&mobile=0&code_category_taxon= So I guess the ID is still unresolved?! The inflorescence doesn't look like 'congested'. To me it somewhat resembles D. heterocarpon but not sure. On Mon, Oct 12, 2015 at 6:24 AM, J.M.
