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

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.
