Frustrated:)... Checked all the literature that I got, but nothing fits. Inula britannica is my guess. As far as Doronicum is concerned, it just reminds me of one, nothing else. Or could it be a third genus that I overlooked? Here, I've made some quality (I suppose) photos if that helps! Thanks!
Split between Inula and Doronicum (from efloras): - Phyllaries in (2–)3–7+ series, unequal to subequal (distinct, calyculi 0); pappi of (± coarse) barbellate bristles ==> Inula - Phyllaries in 1–2 series, equal to subequal (sometimes coherent, often subtended by calyculi); pappi of (fine) smooth or barbellulate bristles ==> Doronicum Quite overlapping features! What "calyculi" are?
Hi Lettuce! :) Hm... unfortunately I don't know well the croatian flora, but are there any other native Doronicum (or Inula) sp. which is not listed in the Iconographia (or in my brand new Ilustrirari billinar :)))? Because between these species I can't find a native Doronicum sp. with similar leaves... so maybe it is really an Inula... (P.S.: Can I use your pics in other forums?)
only 4 Doronicum species in cro.flora. austriacum, hungaricum, columnae and orientale. Many Inula, though. It's really puzzling... the leaves of my plant dont seem to fit in any of Doronicum species noted above. And among other things, according to Flora Europaea, all have glandular peduncles.

If it helps with identification;) Sure.
Of course it helps!!! :) (German botany forum: http://forum.pflanzenbestimmung.de/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11202)
