Young herbaceaus Asteraceae

Post by MWP admin »

I have not yet studied this unknown, but quite sure to be an Asteraceae. No flowers unfortunately so maybe someone have a clue before studying the plant.

Sonchus was my first thought too but I excluded itc because there was very little white sap exudate when veins were cut open. Seems I need to recheck the plant and see what flowers i get
