The leaves are much wider than in Wahlenbergia communis. It is difficult to tell from the angle the photo was taken at, but the leaves appear to be opposite each other rather than alternating up the stem, which is what occurs un Wahlenbergia communis.

See extra photo, leaves alternate, plants only 5-6 cm. high.

OK, I accept the verdict, but the leaves did not look strictly opposite to me.
