Probably subsp. elatine as pedicels have just a few hairs - see centre of main photo

"Probably" K.spuria because the spur is curved, pedicels are villous. K.elatine has no hairs on pedicel.
BTW, where did the epithet "cancerwort" come from? These plants had a perfectly good tag of "Fluellen".
Has a voucher been herbariumed?
I will try to find this site this weekend to have a better look.
