Quite a few regional floras claim Smooth cat's ear but I reckon it is over-recorded for balding specimen of common cat's ear. It really isn't a lot different from Common Cat's-ear but H. radicata leaves are quite hairy usually and bald in H. glabra.  Also to me the flowers appear a little lighter yellow and a bit smaller but I doubt that is diagnostic.
