It turns out that the site I stumbled on for this has had P. grandiflora and P. vulgaris both reported and I did not really spend enough time checking what was what. This one probably is P. vulgaris. (More separated lower lobes and flower size.)

Thanks to Dr E Charles Nelson for helping me out (a lot) with this.
