A labiate. (Definitely not Galeopsis; I'd go for Thymus polytrichus, but
none of the thymes grow round here, and I'm not familiar with them.)

Yes, Saponaria officinalis (note spelling).

Oenothera biennis agg. (I don't think it's O. elata, which doesn't grow
wild in Britain, but you need a closer look - and a guidebook to hand -
to tell which one it is.)

Yes, Echium vulgare.

Jasione montana. (Scabiosa columbaria has zygomorphic flowers and
pseudo-radiate heads; Succisa pratensis is more easily confused with
Jasione, but has hammer-like anthers, and a less compact habit. Jasione
is rare up here - I know 3 sites and it's not always present in one of
them - but I understand it to be quite common in the southwest.)

In the vernacular, thyme (?), soapwort, evening primrose, viper's
bugloss and sheeps bit.

Many thanks all, much appreciated!
