Weed?

Can anybody identify this? Presumably a "weed" which came up in a pot of Gaylussacia dumosa..?

It's not an obscure Senecio or something is it?  The flowers sort of remind me of it, but I think the leaves are wrong?

PS Did you buy the Guylussacia seed from an American source? Then I would try our friends at NARGS' ;)

Across at NARGS, Aaron Floden -  someone who regularly comes t the rescue here with answers, has suggested the plant is a Doellingeria - seems likely!
