Not sure, but a bit confused.

Subject is "Labiate ID". But if it's an Antirrhinum, then it's
Plantaginacae (or a Scrof in £.s.d...), not a labiate (Lamiacaea).

Or have I got that completely wrong?

Sorry - thinko - I meant Lamiales.


OK.

I thought it might actually be a Cymbalaria, but believe you are right
that it isn't one. The likely suspects here
http://luirig.altervista.org/flora/cymbalaria.htm have the wrong leaf
form (never mind the flowers!).
