Looks like a Gerbera relative.

G’day PM

no, not a gerbera, but I might investigate its relatives…. the leaves and tap root reminded me of chicory or dandelion or even that coffee imposter, the ones the italian friends of mine used to roast up…..

and not a macamadamia, this fellow is like a woody weed….

ok you win PM what are they :)

I dunno drylander, I hoping one of youse mexicans can help out. They are both found in the ACT.

theres a lot of pesky weeds in Canberra. its always been hard to pin them down.
those daisy petals remind me of military medals – and the nuts are cracked and ready to explode – yep – they could be locals of our capital.

Daisy = Reichardia tingitana (false sowthistle)??

Forget that last one, piccies showed slight differences so I kept looking and unlike the previous one, no question marks required!! :D
I have it now…

Would have to see a piccie of the plant in flower…as is – no chance, could be anything! In flower, I’ll do my best but no promises!

Oh, that Tolpis is an annual weed in South West WA and probably a weed wherever your friend is too. It’s originally from Europe.
