    For quite some time I have these photographs, amongst others, archived as Reichardia picroides. Now I am beginning to have doubts. Can a member confirm, or otherwise, whether I have been correct or not!

    Bracts at base of inflorescence look like a match, what makes you doubt it?

    Well, simply because many of the Asteraceae genus' are difficult to ID at the best of times. In the past I have made many ID mistakes, especially the Picris, Hieracium etc. families. As I acquired more field experience I was able to rectify my errors.
