This is the (somewhat contentious) rosemary I was trying to ID some time
ago. Having had some computer problems sorted, I've found the pic of it.
I've checked with several gardeners and with a few nurseries and it's only
ever known as the 'Salcombe rosemary' round here.
As you see, using my car as a scale, it's immensely long and was also
trailing across the tarmac of the drive and has to be cut back! It's very
tender and seems to survive only in the mildest sea side gardens round
here.
I've emailed a pic to Olivier Filippi both to see if he can ID it and if
he'd like some cuttings!

I am VERY jealous!!!! I would love to be able to grow this variety but it
wouldn't survive our winters (nor much of Spring & Fall). Here's a pic of
the ~20year old specimen that I have to keep in the kitchen bay window for
most of the year{:-(

BTW it's still dark at 8am. We don't put back the clocks until this coming
w/e. It's a fuel saving measure forced on all of N.America by "The Shrub".

Ours went back last w/e and I've still got jetlag! ;-) Nice, healthy
plants, Graham. Is the one on the right a citrus of some sort?
