The flowers of the 4 species all look much the same - have to see leaves/plant form to make an ID.

Still no help I'm afraid. I need to see the base of the plant for this one. P. glabrata has a branched, almost trailing habit, while sericea just comes off a single point at the base. I think the foliage in your shot lets out the very narrow leaved longifolia, and fragilis is a bog plant, but glabrata and sericea are a bugger to pick between. I often struggle a bit even in the field.
