Small flowers, maybe less than a cm. Its leaves were in poor condition so i couldnt get a good example.

You need a photo of the leaves, particularly at the base of the plant, to determine the species. Erythraea retains the leaves at the base of the plant as a rosette at flowering time. Tenuiflorum does not have basal leaves or they are weakly developed.
