This is no *Launaea acaulis*, neither any usual *Launaea* spp. Here the phyllaries are 2-seriate, each set having phyllary of equal size, I am yet to find that character in *Launaea*.
Unfortunately, there is no herbarium of *L. microcephala*, neither any description except in Flora of British India ( same point admitted in one 2002 Pakistan paper (on *Launaea*). In spite of that it has no chance of being *L. microcephala*, neither flowering stem is filiform, nor peduncle is capillary. FBI has no *Taraxacum* that matches with this one. I am yet to know what this species might be.
