Could this be Crotalaria berteroana ??

This herb was around 1.5m in height with branches. Stem was slightly brownish & covered with hairs, Leaves alternate (approx 4 to 7cm), with very small petiole hardly few mm, wedge shaped.

In Crotalaria it is necessary to note if leaves are simple or trifoliolate and the number of seeds in the pod. Your plant seems to be simple leaved, a shrub silky allover and with flowers in panicles. It should have had a 2 seeded pod to be C. berteroana, which seems to be the likely ID.
