I do not think so brought from Australia... as Europeans settled in Australia... Not Australians come to Europe... :)
Ashish
Yes... but find similar... Is Eulalia is watching ..?
Dangermouse
Closest I can find so far is Hovea elliptica, which is an Australian native but could have been brought over to Europe at some point. But until I find any concrete information, I'll leave this as an unknown spotting.

Thanks for the start, Ashish. I will research that later.

Need to find European ID...
