Any idea what this is? Note the forked sepals...!

It reminds me of a scented-leaf geranium I had; can't remember the name but it was a rockery variety from New Zealand.

Try a white flowered Musk Storksbill - Erodium moschatum.

Keble Martin shows this as having pinky purple flowers. You specifically say "white flowered", do the colours vary?

He shows E martimum as having white flowers.

I would have said it is a white variant of Common Stork's-bill (Erodium cicutarium)

What of the bi-furcated sepals? Not on the Common. Although the leaves look right.

Actually, the fine spines at the tips of the sepals in Common Storksbill (Erodium cicutarium) are sometimes bifurcated as shown here. In Musk Storksbill, the projection is a much stubbier thing.

We can also see enough of the leaves to see that the leaflets are too deeply cut for Musk Storksbill.

Any of the storksbills can have white flowers, so this is not a problem, and white flowers are common in E. cicutarium. This is what it is.
