THis one could well be S.sericea, would be good to see a close up of the leaf hairs

I have uploaded another photo of tle leaves which might show the leaf hairs more clearly. If this is no good, let me know and I will go back to the site and try and take a better one

Cool. S.sericea I think, the hairs appear appressed rather than spreading

And this is why you and the others are so fabulous. I could have looked at those hairs for hours without being able to tell the difference. Thank you :)
