liverleaf, hepatica nobilis, March-April, 5-15cm high
This doesn’t flower for very long and the one and only time I’ve seen one is in the French Vanoise National Park. It’s leaf is shaped like a liver and was once considered to be a treatment for liver complaints including hepatitis although there’s no evidence to support this.
