Unidentified

I think the pod makes this C. goreensis instead.

I know using ChatGTP is not as good as keying but it is so much quicker. 😊

Between *Crotalaria medicaginea* and *Crotalaria goreensis*, *Crotalaria medicaginea* is more likely to be found in Paluma Range National Park.

### *Crotalaria medicaginea*:
- This species is more commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, which aligns with the environmental conditions of Paluma Range National Park. It prefers well-drained soils in areas such as open woodlands, grasslands, and along the edges of forests. Given the tropical climate of Paluma Range, this species is a better fit for the area.

### *Crotalaria goreensis*:
- *Crotalaria goreensis* is typically found in Africa and is less likely to be encountered in Australia, particularly in Paluma Range National Park. It’s not commonly reported in the Australian flora and is therefore much less likely to be present in the park.

Given the habitat and regional preferences, *Crotalaria medicaginea* would be the species you are more likely to encounter in the Paluma Range National Park.

C. goreensis would be an interesting find because it’s not normally reported in northern Queensland. This plant was found near a weedy patch along the trail, but pretty far into the walk.
