Lactuca species?- Maharashtra (?)


Lactuca virosa Habl. ?: 3 high res. images.
Please validate


I guess the ID is correct.


I could not find Lactuca virosa Habl. in POWO?
Lactuca virosa L. is not reported from our area:
https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:329493-2
It is very difficult to say about the species at this stage (until and unless one is very familiar with this).
