German myrtle, Bride's myrtle, m.communis microphylla

Does anyone know of a UK source for this plant, please?

I've had the pot plant for 30 years, but it's died, and I'm looking for a replacement. It's available in Europe as "myrtus communis", but it's not what goes under that name here, as it's much smaller, growing to no more than about 60cm with dark green, 1.5cm long leaves; the leaves are highly fragrant when brushed, and the flowers equally so.

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Have a look on the RHS website, they list 14 suppliers.

    Thanks, Dave, but I'm afraid that all the mail order suppiers listed there don't stock plain microphylla; the only one that claims to is out of stock and showing a picture of the wrong plant...
