I am not sure.whether it iit is obovatum or brevipes. Brevipes has weeping branches, while obovatum normally does not. However, the leaf tips appear to be pointed down, typical of obovatum. The leaf tips of brevipes are straight. Flower size of brevipes according to Plantnet is 6-8 mm diameter, and of obovatum is 8-12mm diameter. Both species like it wet.
