Anyone?

Is it Podophyllum?

Hi Mark

Could well be as I'm sure it came out of the ground like a closed upside down umbrella but there are so many plants around it I'm not 100%. Not seen such a big leaf before so it must be happy. I will take another picture to try and add some scale.

Regards

David

It is a podophyllum and at that size should have flowers. If it has and you can show the flowers it should be possible to identify the species

Ok it seems to have liked the cold winter and is now flowering for the first time.

I would say it is a dark flowered Podophyllum mairei

Many thanks. I have a few and all are in flower this year for the first time. They must have like the 'cold' spell before Christmas.
