Can anyone help with identifying this plant? It is the broad and mottled leaves that I cannot find linked to the flower. The plant was photographed in April 2011 in France but it is likely that it also appears in the UK

Possibly Spotted cat's-ear Hypochaeris maculata, but not a definitive and my knowledge on French Asteraceae species ain't great

Looks like one of the spotted hawkweeds, Hieracium sp. |

Many thanks for all that. You've put me on the right track. I'm fairly sure now that it's Spotted hawkweed, Hieracium glaucinum. |

Definitely a Hawkweed, (Hieracium sp.). The most common of the spotted-leaved Hawkweeds is
H. maculatum which is quite widespread and is often grown in gardens and can become very numerous.
There is a disused railway embankment in Mid-Hants where H. maculatum covers several acres!
Many of the other spotted-leaf species are either very local and/or rare and can only be identified by experts.
H.glaucinum is not a species found in Britain as far as I'm aware.
