This would be a new observation for Mt Majura - not yet on our Flora list.

Unlikely to be Picris angustifolia, the local subsp is the alpine one and the grassland subsp has yet to be recorded here

Yeah that makes sense and I agree - I was actually thinking that initially, but thrown off because I remember we had another tricky record before which turned out to be Picris, not Crepis, and also because most of the ones I've seen personally have been a bit more orange rather than yellow like this, and it's also generally qutie a sparsely distributed plant, usually I've seen them only a couple or singly. Though having a closer look, the low form of the plants suits Crepis over Picris, also the budding inflorescence. The yellow flowers are fine for Crepis as well, so I was a bit off the ball for thinking that they weren't.
