Seen last month in the same area of chalky woodland in which I saw the toothwort and the early purple orchids    |

I have seen this before, but cannot for the life of me remember it's name. It's not a native I'm sure of that. It looks similar to a Petasites sp. or very similar.
Some of the larger leaves are almost Arum-like, but I don't think it is that genus. Quote:

It might be Symphytum cordatum (Heart-leaved Comfrey), a continental European species. I don't know how commonly it's grown over here. |

The flowers in the 3rd. pic. are certainly Comfrey-like, especially if you imagine they have dropped their petals. Symphytum cordatum is listed in Plant Finder, with a variety called 'Goldsmith' with variagated leaves being the popular plant. Only one Nursery lists the 'type' so it must be very uncommon in its natural form.

This is Symphytum cordatum which I photographed in the wild in Romania.  |
