On reviewing this sighting, I'm now thinking it is H. aspera, due to the impressed vein on the upper leaf surface, and narrower petals. H. empetrifolia has more broadly triangular petals (both have the notch in the tip). Both are locally common, with empetrifolia usually on sandier soils and it is a smaller, stragglier shrub usually. They are diabolically similar in photos, easier to pick "in the flesh" from their habit.
