Quite common on this hillside.
There is no menu option for Microseris sp, so M. walteri was chosen.

It would be M.lanceolata at this altitude. But I think this is actually a catsear, without leaves I can't say much.

Seems sensible to me. Plus a useful lesson to me in recording more comprehensive information on species ID.
Thanks for fly ID
