Again, very old pictures of mine taken on 9/2/07 & 16/2/07 in Muscat, Oman.
Small herb seen growing wild.
Interesting calyx cup.
Just a guess....can this be Urospermum picroides, Prickly Goldenfleece?

A small wild plant seen yesterday (25.1.14) in Muscat, Oman with tiny yellow flowers.
Id please.
Interesting flower structure. Probably not seen before. 
it may be Sonchus sp
I had posted these flowers before also.
Although the flowers looks the same in the link, not sure about the leaves.
These tiny plants can be found after a few showers in winter, not seen through out the year.
This has been validated by ... of Oman Botanic Garden as Urospermum picroides of Asteraceae.
Common name is Prickly Goldenfleece.
