Default Do I pull it out or is it a rare flower?

Well, I knew it was Asteraceae (Compositae in pre-decimal currency), so
it was a matter of looking through the Comps in my book of British flora
(The Illustrated Flora of GB and Northern Europe - Blamey and
Grey-Wilson). It wasn't that difficult to find, as just about all other
Asteraceae have leaves with non-smooth edges, and they are fairly wide
to some extent or other. Goat's Beard has very thin, smooth-edged leaves.


Salsify doesn't :-)
