The leaves of this look a bit fleshy and hairy to be parviflorus, so I'm thinking it is probably graveolens growing in a shady spot, so greener than usual. I'd need to see a bit more of the foliage and habit of the plant. If growing on rocks it is most likely graveolens.

Plectranthus parviflorus has 4-12 pairs of teeth on the leaf edges. Plectranthus graveolens has 10-19 pairs.
