Leontodon tuberosus - to confirm

Post by MWP admin »

Spent an hour or so checking what is the common, yellow, sonchus-like-flowered Asteracea, flowering at this time of the year. I am quite sure that it is the Leontodon tuberosus, with runners up being Reichardia picroides (but that should have smooth achenes).

Posting for confirmation please!
