It would be helpful to photograph the entire plant, as the form it takes can be important in the identification. I’m pretty sure it is.P. promoters (it doesn’t help that I’m looking at it on a phone rather than a proper screen.!)

Ok, will keep that in mind. This plant was a challenge to photograph in entirety: it was in a sunken crevice, at base of large granite boulder. Next time !
