What's this?

I saw this today in somebody else's garden (in Victoria, B.C.). It was growing in light shade.
It's a low-growing plant, no more than about 6 or 8 inches high. It had spread to cover an area of about 4 by 6 feet. I think it was all one plant. This is a picture of only part of the plant.
At first I wondered if it was a Daphne cneorum, but any Daphne cneorum that I've seen has always been rather more mounding and compact and has had somewhat smaller leaves than these.
When I asked the owners what it was, they said that all they knew was that it was some sort of rock plant. They said they thought it sometimes had white flowers (Daphne cneorum, I think, always has pink flowers).
Can anybody tell me what it is?
