What's this little beauty?

imageCan anybody please identify this little beauty. It's growing on a hillside at Danebury hill in Hampshire among Speedwell,  Herb Robert, Buttercups, Nettles and grasses. It's about 1 and a half to 2 feet tall with hairy leaves. The flowers were small, only about the size of my little fingernail.

    Have you more photos. With leaves? That's too close-up for me, I don't see plants like thatimage



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • It looks like Nonea (Nonea pulla).

    Hi Hewitt&son. Possibly one of the figwort family but not sure.

     Foolishly I only took this close up. I tried a plant identifier online but all I could remember about the entire plant was that is had hairy leaves. I'll do better next time.
