Dear Hari ji Taraxacum and Sonchus can easily be differentiated in that we have only basal leaves in Taraxacum, there is not leafy stem, there being only individual scapes each ending in a capitulum. Sonchus has leafy stems with with several capitula and the leaves are usually with basal auricles. I hope that helps you.
