John,
Very good, you have got the genus, still to find the species name...

I cannot identify the one in the quiz, but I seem to have far too much of a short lilac example. Digging it out doesn't seem to get rid of it, and neither does trying to keep the soil covered and deprived of light. Would caressing it lovingly with 'RoundUp' work? has anyone managed to eradicate this unwanted tenant?

As you seem to be sticking to Mediterranean species, especially from this end of the Med, Oron, could it be O. crenata?

No, not crenata, as you can see it has a much deeper color!
