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 herehttp://luirig.altervista.org/flora/cymbalaria.htmhave the wrong leaf
form (never mind the flowers!).

This is haunting me, I feel I should know it.
Fleshy leaf making me think it grows in a fairly dry area.
Hairs to prevent to much water loss by wind.
Low growing, an exposed habitat?
