wildflower question

The Lantana guess is not far out: it is certainly something in the region of
Lippia/Aloysia/Phyla in Verbenaceae. If it is a low prostrate plant with the
flower heads borne about 1-2 inches above the ground it could be Phyla
nodiflora, often seen in (rock-) gardening literature as Lippia nodiflora.

It's a very small flower on a very small plant, growing alongside a
large stream, on a sandy bank. The flower is probably only about
half an inch across (rough guess).
The only thing that springs to mind is Lantana, but I know it's not that.
