One of the common adaptation would be their green colour. To increase their survival rate, they are mostly composed of green leaves and stem in order to camouflage, blend in with its surrounding. Also, to increase the effectiveness of photosynthesis, they all have green colour. Also, another common adaptation would be phototropism which is not a physical adaption but a behaviour adaptation. I noticed that their leaves and flowers are facing the light source, sun. It is to get large amount of light to process a photosynthesis and produce lots of energy. The unique adaptation would be the shape of Autumn Hawkbit's seed.
Autumn Hawkbit's seed disperse by wind blow. Therefore, it's seed is very light and narrowly cylindric to spindle-shape so that the feathery hairs can fly better with wind.
