    Spotted today in Hayle, west Cornwall.
    It sort of reminds me of a plant I saw in Australia, but that's as far as I can go.
    Plant is approx 3' high.
    So!! Over to you experts.

    Definately NOT birds foot treffoil (Lotus corniculatus).
    Thanks for the input though.

        Thanks @Silver surfer
        That certainly looks like the correct genus.
        Now to try and pin down which of the 100+ species it is, though E. virgineus is definately a good starting point.

          Well I can say, with some confidence, that E. virgineus is what it is.
          Checking my records, I found that Euryops tysonii (Tyson's Euryops) is also growing there.
