Sir Collins small book on Garden tree-pg 165 has the following on Sophora .." Sophora microphylla and Sophora tetraptera both have small, evergreen leaves composed of many small leaflets, from 10 to 40 pairs. They have yellow flowers in small clusters, carried in late winter or spring. They make shrubs or small trees, to 6m (20ft). Sophora japonica is a much taller growing tree, capable of making 20m (67ft) in height and spread."
There is tiny picture of Sophora microphylla in the book, the leaves are longer in your plant but the branching pattern is the same, so it looks more like your Pics are of Sophora tetraptera. regards, Rashida.
