    It is an upright greenhouse perennial & if I remember correctly it has pink flowers which are pea-like.

    The leaves look wrong to be a member of the Pea family, more like a member of the mint family.
    I'll throw my hat in and say that I'd google Plectranthus (go straight to image results as there is a lot of species and cultivars) and see if anything rings a bell. Most of the blooms are Salvia like to be honest though.............

        Thanks for the input guys, I suppose I will have to wait until it flowers again before I can be absolutely sure, but you have both given me food for thought.

          Am I right in thinking there is a different plant in post #1 pic to post #3 pic?

          No Pete, the first pic highlighted the close up features of the plant, the second pic was a fuller view of the plant.
