This is one of that group of difficult yellow composites which is made a little easier to identify by being roughly hairy, usually on single stems from a basal rosette and growing in well drained calcareous grassland. The flower is a slightly deeper golden yellow than many other yellow composites and the underside of the outer florets sometimes has a reddish tinge.
