Currently, in Flora of China this would go to hookeri, but that is clearly not right. The other option would be verticillatum which is also wrong. I would argue that kansuense might be the correct name for these plants, but your plant is far more compact in growth than any of the clones I have. If it is kansuense it will have a scabrous stem and scabrous abaxial leaf surfaces.
