Hi Tony, do you think this is C. cornuta or clivicola?

I think this looks more like clivicola than cornuta, but can't be sure. It would help if you could show the position of the free tip of the leaf. In clivicola this is well below the level of the flowers, but in cornuta it reaches right up to the base of the flowers. It's useful when the flowers have closed, as these have.
