I've been investigating Petasites in the local area.
I found:
1. Winter Heliotrope, P. fragrans.
Quite invasive around here.
2. Japanese Butterbur, P. japonicus.
Bigger leaf, also quite invasive, shady boggy areas.
3. Hybrid butterbur, P hybridus.
Large more elongated leaf with jagged edges. Found in the river & along its banks in the shade.
4. Siberian Ligularia, Ligularia sibirica.
Not a Petasites species, leaf looks quite similar. Found in someone's compost heap!
