I think Coum are the same but Nut can confirm this I'm sure.
Addendum: I've done a bit of Googling which confirms that all cyclamen should be planted with the rough side upwards - the smooth slightly convex side is the bottom.

I can just about see one of mine (hederifolium) from the kitchen window - with it's pointy, 'rooty' looking bit sticking up, and the foliage clear of that. It can be quite confusing when you just see them bare though

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Enjoy your cyclamen - when we moved here 3 years ago this week and started to explore the jungle of ivy and russian vine, I was thrilled to find a few little white cyclamen peeping out - over the weeks more and more appeared - I'd always wanted a garden with white cyclamen in it When the builders dug out the bank to shore it up with sleepers they carefully removed all the huge old cyclamen corms and kept them safe in a dark damp corner and we successfully replanted them.
As everything's been ahead of time this year, we've got a garden full of little white cyclamen at the moment - absolutely gorgeous

I love them - I have white ones in the narrow shady border at my back fence where you can see their bright little flowers from the house on the dull autumn days. A very underrated plant, and they're good in alpine pans as well, especially if you can raise them up nearer eye level so that you can admire them as you go by

2 of my 'dinner plates' turned to mush in the long wet period, they must have been 20 years old. The soil where they are is very well drained but the non stop rain did for them

If they're hederifolium it's the other way around - the underside of the corm is smooth and convex, the roots come from the top surface.
We've got lots which we're always having to move around and it used to confuse me until I found this site http://www.hederifolium.co.uk/html/cultural_advice.html

I can confirm this, Dove is correct
happy planting and enjoy
Thanks Dove ,have visited the site and I am sure you are right. I did visit the RHS site and others, none as good as your link
