That's what we think it is but does anyone know better?

I would be more inclined to J. subhumile, I think fruiticans has more
pointed leaves. subhumile is quite variable as a species and some
varieties of it have have species synonyms applied like heterophyllum
and diversifolium.

NB sunhumile is a different species to humile (of revolutum fame)

That does look much more like it. Some of the young growth branches are
arching and quite sturdy - over a pencil's thickness - and it's still
in a pot. I think the long yellow 'tubes' of the flower look right,
too. Thanks so much, Charlie. I told Ray that if in doubt "ask
Charlie"! You know Ray - he's had it for years and has no recollection
of how he came by it. Somebody, sometime, very kindly gave it to him
etc. Possibly Guy Sissons now I start to think about it - I'll check.
It's a lovely plant and very generous flowering. I think you've solved
it. Many thanks.
