Hi folks.

Could anyone identify this plant please? It's an evergreen shrub,
certainly a member of leguminosae. I found it growing in great
profusion in Mediterranean France. I took a specimen and planted it
out in my garden in Sussex and it has since thrived, growing slowly
throughout two winters. Now it's ready to burst out in bright yellow
blooms (a few flowers appeared in Feb).

I've done extensive searches on Google, checking lots of images but
have been unable to get an exact match.

Does anyone recognize it? FYI, I observed it around Fréjus.

Thanks in advance,

Tom.
