New acquisition ID'd by Fleur as Isotoma axillaris

Can anyone ID this? I bought it recently in Kalamata, but the nursery couldn't remember the name.

I know this one because Vina brought it to Sally who did the research. It's a Laurentia axillaris from NSW Australia, grows on rocky ground in peaty soil and is poisonous.

Thanks Fleur. It seems very happy in semi-shade, on my balcony.  I've checked it out, and it sounds as though the milky sap has similar properties to that of Euphorbia.
