Yeah honestly it could be, with the leaves so small. The flowers are mean't to open only partially with this species though, which doesn't seem to be a feature of this plant. I have to say given the rarity of the species in question i'm hesitant to make the ID.

I think it is C. campestris with a missing leaf, you can see where the leaf was but it is impossible to know its dimensions. This plant is small and also the flower is small which makes it interesting but had to concluded as these species are hard to seperate. These flower are close rather than very widely spaced and, as suggested, is opening widely rather than narrowly.

Agreed, having had a second look I see what Derek means by the missing leaf.
