    For me, this is Crepis. If you compare your flower photos to those for Hypochoeris, you'll see that Hypocoeris begins its rachis branching much closer to the plant itself, whereas in Crepis the branching of the rachis is much closer to the flowers themselves.

    Thank you Iorax, I appreciate your advice. You seem to be extremely knowledeable about these Asteraceae genera. I am learning slowly, but by jove, these few Asteraceae genera are very complicated. I am going to upload what I think could be Pilosella officinalis. I would appreciate your opinion.
