I think all this confusion is because the leaves are not in focus, i cant discern the leaf margin with any great confidence. i am sure Mr Garg had the same concern. *Cant see the original image that was posted on 22nd October 2020. where is it?*
*still the basal auricle shape is visible in first picture:* *it is rounded* and *i can extrapolate from the fuzzy margins that they are most likely prickly.* see the pictures in this illustration from a paper titled: " Sow Thistle Chloroplast Genomes: Insights into the Plastome Evolution and Relationship of Two Weedy Species, Sonchus asper and Sonchus oleraceus (Asteraceae) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336977477_Sow_Thistle_Chloroplast_Genomes_Insights_into_the_Plastome_Evolution_and_Relationship_of_Two_Weedy_Species_Sonchus_asper_and_Sonchus_oleraceus_Asteraceae> the picture link is not working on google today you have to copy and paste the following in google or search engine: *https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Pictures-of-Sonchus-asper-prickly-sow-thistle-and-Sonchus-oleraceus-common-sow_fig1_336977477 <https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Pictures-of-Sonchus-asper-prickly-sow-thistle-and-Sonchus-oleraceus-common-sow_fig1_336977477>* *Bottom line:* 1: *Must have pictures in focus* 2: try to touch the leaves, see if they are rough or smooth and it the edges are prickly. this plant used to be used as salad or pot herb by early settlers to north america, they brought the seeds over from europe. so its safe to touch.it still is eaten on the trails. 3: *i think its Sonchus asper. * Regards Ushadi On Thu, Oct 22, 2020 at 7:19 PM Aarti S.
