Surely not Eclipta prostrata?

This plant was in a sandy collection area on a golf course, in full sun. It was 5.7 inches long by 2.3 inches wide, and prostrate, with the max height less than 1 inch. Most parts of the plant were covered with appressed hairs. The tiny heads were only 0.150 inch across, with white ray flowers and greenish-white disc flowers. The flowers were on short pedicels, with (I think) 6 phyllaries per head. Leaves were lanceolate, and had short petioles with blades to 0.6 inch long by 0.150 inch wide. Leaf tips were acute to acuminate. I couldn't tell if the leaves were opposite or alternate, because they were so densely packed along the stem.

This plant looks a bit like a miniature Eclipta prostrata, but is surely something else.
