It might be Comesperma retusum. I cannot tell from the photo whether the leaves are flat or with the edges curved down. Were the backs of the leaves pale and with an obvious midvein?

In dry forest on poor stony soils. Nothing remotely like the habitat of C. retusum. Leaves margins are recurved with recurved apex.
