David reports that this plant "does not have the yellow / orange boss, but it also has a straight spur as per L. repens, thus has to be the inter-specific hybrid. The plant is fertile but most of the capsules on the plant have aborted and this would suggest an inter-specific."

David Fenwick found the site, identified the plants and took me there to see them.
