    Do you have access to it? What is the smell of a crushed leaf? (use gloves if you like)

    Plant in first picture looks different than other two, resembles Lapsana communis.

    Looking at Lapsana in person where I live the pictures posted here might all be Lapsana, the thing to do now is compare with that species at your end. If you don't know where there are any growing near you then you will have to use other photos as well as written descriptions.
