I would be grateful if anyone can identify this plant. It is 20-25 cm tall.

Giles, that's what I think it is too, but I get so confused when looking at images of Disporopsis, Prosartes, Disporum  ???

It looks like D. pernyi. It should be sweetly fragrant on warm days or at close inspection -- I liken the scent to nutmeg or eggnog.

 Disporopsis -- unbranched axillary flowers, Disporum -- branched terminal or pseudoterminal inflorescences, usually glabrous, Prosartes -- branched with terminal flowers and usually also pubescent.

Thank you Giles and Aaron.  I have written Disporopsis pernyi on the label and will sniff the flowers tomorrow  :).
