Lion's foot, not sweet Indian plantain

My post of April 21, 2010 entitled "A good plant out of place?" was incorrect. The plant in question was not sweet Indian plantain (Hasteola suaveolens) but lion's foot (Prenanthes alba). The leaves are fairly similar, especially when small, but Prenanthes leaves have milky sap and Hasteola leaves do not. The population I described in the post has milky sap.

My error. Thanks to Gary Birch for correcting me!
