I think I ID'd some Common Scurveygrass flowers earlier but I'm not sure....
if anyone can help I'll post a pic?

The quickest solution may be to have a look at
http://www.wildflowers.co.uk/acatalog/n129.jpg   or do a google image
search for "scurvy grass"

Have done a google already, that's how I came up with the ID but not sure if
my methods are correct (it looks similar to a couple of other plants)

Thanks Stewart (you ID'd my last post BTW!) - I'll have to dig out my
Wildlife/Flowers book to see what the others were.... in the meantime:

Looks like it.  They have fleshy heart shaped leaves; the whole plant
is usually fairly flat against the ground and usually within sight of
the sea.
