Seen growing in a street, and presumably a garden escape.

Not Saxifraga (cordate rather cuneate leaves), nor either of the pennywort
genera (leaves not peltate), nor Pyrola (leaf venation palmate rather than
pinnate). It doesn't seem a bad match for Homogyne alpina, but that's
restricted in the wild to Caenlochan NNR in Angus (if still present; the
BSBI don't have it as being recorded this century), with a presumably
casual record in Northamptonshire, and it's rarely if all cultivated (last
seen in Plant Finder in 1997).
Anyone recognise it.
Could it be a young Eryngium variifolium? Although it seems a bit large to
not have some at least some spiky leaves.
