Flowers look more crowded than is typical for E. impressa, so I was trying to make it into E. paludosa, but comparinf it with my photos of both, it does look closer to impressa. Plus paludosa is a plant of wet areas, and the map does not indicate you were in one!

Ok thanks Jackie, had a very different 'feel' to impressa but I didn't take a hard enough look to say why. It was fairly sandy soil and not particularly wet though.

Yeah, looking at our impressa photos it does seem to be rather variable in leaf spacing and flower length. I zoomed in on yours and I think I can just make out the dimples at the base of the flower that are the source of the name impressa, on a flower towards the bottom left hand side of the right hand stem.
