I think Bossiaea is correct; perhaps B buxifolia. We have one record of B buxifolia and a couple of B prostrata for Mt Majura. If you can find it again please collect a sample; I think the leaves of the 2 species can be distinguished.

Red-brown back of flower distinguishes it from B. prostrata which is more pinkish and yellow
