Hi Giles, that was the closest I got but I don't think I've ever seen it with such pronounced outer petals before.

I'd go with G. cordifolia too - some variation in  several species - there are some super photos here :

OK for G. cordifolia too. The apex of the leave is truncated/incised which fit this species.
