Author's notes
Does not seem to have raised mid vein in leaf, petals 5-6mm - sorry photo not good enough and I did not notice stamen position.

I had a look at the leaves of this plant under the microscope, they are very hairy with both simple and complex hairs, leaves are 4-6mm long, and it appears to have a raised mid-vein to level of revolute leaf edges. It seems to have a mix of H. stricta and H. serpylilifolia. I will make a collection and take to the herbarium.

Thanks Ken - very useful reference - points in the direction of this being H. stricta as underside of leaf is not readily apparent
