Thanks.

I think it's Common Scurvy-grass Cochlearia officnalis agg. Note the agg. - Dorts may be able to help more

[leifus]

what sort of habitat was it growing in? Or whereabouts in the country?

It looks like common scurvygrass to me too though

I've checked in the book and am sure it's Common Scurvygrass. It was growing in sand dunes, so ideal habitat. Thanks for the input though.

I agree it's Common Scurvy-grass - Cochlearia officnalis.
There is a very small form, ssp.atlantica that grows on stony and sandy seashores in Western Scotland.
Dorts.
