From Rose's The Wildflower Key - Autumn Hawkbit, Leontodon autumnalis
Asteraceae group A. Dandelion type Asteraceae - floret all strap type, yellow/orange, blue or purple, milky latex in stem
1. Flowers yellow/orange -> 4
4. Pappus on fruit -> 5
5. Pappus hairs feathery (inner hairs at least) -> 6
6. Stem leaves tiny/absent -> 7
7. No scales between florets -> L.autumnalis
Seems curious to key on fruit before scales (especially if no fruit?). Will append key from vegetative later for combined picture
