L. pedunculata tends to be more up on the ranges. The common one locally is L. purpurascens - check the underside of the leaf, which should be purple (sometimes only slightly, sometimes strongly). It is flowering up a storm at the moment (as are most things!).

Okay, thanks Jackie. I'll check the leaves when we're up there tomorrow.
