This is most probably *Youngia japonica* (L.) DC. Usually, outer phyllaries are apparently smaller than those can be seen in ths picture set, ut instances are there, with a little larger outer phyllaries - https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/youngia-japonica/. Please, check both, FoC, and FoNA, along with other literatures.
Another species with similar outer phyllaries, but with glandular hairs is *Pterotheca falconeri* Hook.f. (check eFI). I would like to add that , as per description available, *Launaea microcephala* Hook.f. also has ".... 2-seriate involucral bracts, 6-8 i number, outer minute, inner linear. Radical leaves obovate-spathulate, cauline ......."
