Last image is most important for ID. It is Rhynchosia aurea. It differs from R .minima in having a globular pod, against 1.5 to 2cm long flt pod in R .minima. Flower differs too …R .minima is said to have smaller flowers, standard up to 8mm, in R.aurea 12 to 15 mm in various keys … but I regularly see R .minima with bigger than 8 mm standard. So , to me pod is most important point to look for.
