Rhagadiolus Vaill.
Rhagadiolus is a genus of two closely related weedy species, both native to the Mediterranean region. According to recent molecular studies Rhagadiolus is most closely related to Lapsana and both genera cluster within the genus Crepis s.l. However, their generic status is best maintained, at least for the time being (Enke 2009).
One species, Rhagadiolus stellatus, was formerly recorded as an alien in Belgium.
