The flowers look like D. dalzellii. The stems in the plants I have seen are quadrangular and not round in cross section. Can't see in the pictures if all the stems are round. Leaves can be entire or sub crenate. To distinguish properly between. D. dalzellii and C. vagans you have to dissect the flowers.
