I would give my vote to Mercury as the forgotten planet. There has only been 1 probe (Mariner 10) and it's mapping only covered about 45% of the surface to a resolution of 1km.
Considering how close it is, it's odd that there really hasn't been any interest in it at all. Maybe NASA has something against large, uninteresting chunks of rock. But then, how do you explain the EROS Mission?:)
