I do not like confirming Wahlenbergias to species level if there is no photo of a flower sideways on showing the ratio of floral tube to free lobes, and photos clearly showing the stem hairs, if present, a piece of stem showing the arrangement of the leaves, and the basal leaves if present.

When we took the pictures we had no idea of the complexity in identifying the various species so did not take them in such detail.
