Something in the Locust Family?

Photographed these lovely flowers at a botanical garden (hence the unknown zone) in their "warm-temperate" greenhouse.... I have never seen it before and don't know what it is -- they didn't have a visible tag for it. I'm hoping someone here recognizes it enough to give me a general idea of what to search for. To me, it looks like something in the Locust family but I didn't find anything matching when I searched myself. They do have many African native plants in this greenhouse, so it may be something from that continent.

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks! I did a web search & tried to cross reference with the garden's online plant database.... The closest match I got from that was Indigofera amblyantha. The flowers don't quite match, though... So I went with just a visual match and came up with Indigofera Australis. I think I. Australis might be it.... Second opinions?

Australis looks good.
