Flatweed (or Smooth Cat's Ear)

Hypochaeris radicata (or Hypochaeris glabra)

Description:

It is very difficult to distinguish between these two species, and there are hybrids between both species. Regardless, they are both considered environmental weeds in Australia. Very pretty flowers though. A third contender is possibly the Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), although my image searches lead me to think this is not the case.

Habitat:

Common in urban and rural areas.
