    It looks like the leaves of a viola, probably the native Common Dog Violet, Viola riviniana, or the Sweet Violet, Viola odorata or one of their cousins.

    The clumps of leaves get much bigger over the summer then disappear for the winter.

    They look like it - check the little seed capsules - hard and roundish, but when ripe they open like a three pointed star and catapult the seeds out.
