I would have cheerfully suggested rosulate viola (see the floral remains bottom right) until I spotted the humungous leaves in the background  :-\ ???

If only  ;D  ;D

Tony gets the prize for inventiveness, but Giles gets the prize for skill!  Well done, it's Plantago rosularis Bowles Variety.  
I was thinking of some contorted clue with a Bowles connection, but didn't need it.

Giles, your turn to set a puzzle  ...

Very interesting. It would serve several purposes in my garden: tortoise food; caterpillar food (certain small fritillaries) and a fascinating looking plant.

After several early lessons learned the hard way I now have a mantra .... 'Easy from seed makes it a weed'
Seems like this is the difference between plantago and rosulate viola. :)

But a rosulate viola is easy from seed (with GA) it's the next bit that's the problem   ;)  ;)

Oh blast, Paul, I had assumed you were in bed and I would get away with this one, for indeed, it is Australian.
But should we keep it a secret from the others?
