I am fairly certain this is Picris angustifolia. However, the photo showing the back of the flower is not clear enough to show even whether there are lines of hairs or not, let alone how many lines.

Hi Betty, yes the images are not all that clear. On the assumption it is a Picris, I went with the Picris angustifolia subsp. merxmuelleri suggestion based on the flowering time given in the PlantNET description (the other subspecies finishes several months earlier) and to some extent also on the habitat description for the subspecies in this region.

Ken, I don't take much notice of flowering times, particularly spring vs autumn. A lot of spring flowering plants will flower in autumn given the right conditions.Re habitat of subsp. angustifolia. Vicflora and Plantnet both say it grows in grassy woodland and open forest as well as coastal scrub. Thus I would prefer not to stick my neck out about the subspecies. CNM records are eventually copied to ALA.
