Either auriculata or peltata, but you need a good look at the sepals to pick between them (peltata are hairy - think "pelt" - a nifty mnemonic it took me forever to work out).

Apart from the newly described hookeri, split from peltata. Peltata and hookeri have basal rosettes of leaves, those of peltata red, those of hookeri yellow to green. Auriculata does not have a basal rosette. In Vicflora.

Damn, I'd forgotten about hookeri. The plot thickens.
