Its native range is Ireland and Scotland. [1]
Hieracium , known by the common name hawkweed and classically as hierakion, is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, and closely related to dandelion (Taraxacum), chicory (Cichorium), prickly lettuce (Lactuca) and sow thistle (Sonchus), which are part of the tribe Cichorieae. Hawkweeds, with their 10,000+ recorded species and subspecies, do their part to make Asteraceae the second largest family of flowering plants. Some botanists group all these species or subspecies into approximately 800 accepted species, while others prefer to accept several thousand species. Since most hawkweeds reproduce exclusively asexually by means of seeds that are genetically identical to their mother plant, clones or populations that consist of genetically identical plants are formed and some botanists prefer to accept these clones as good species whereas others try to group them into a few hundred more broadly defined species. What is here treated as the single genus Hieracium is now treated by most European experts as two different genera, Hieracium and Pilosella, with species such as Hieracium pilosella, Hieracium floribundum and Hieracium aurantiacum referred to the latter genus. Many members of the genus Pilosella reproduce both by stolons and by seeds, whereas true Hieracium species reproduce only by seeds. In Pilosella, many individual plants are capable of forming both normal sexual and asexual (apomictic) seeds, whereas individual plants of Hieracium only produce one kind of seeds. Another difference is that all species of Pilosella have leaves with smooth (entire) margins whereas most species of Hieracium have distinctly dentate to deeply cut or divided leaves.
A dry roadside dotted with small, ¾ inch red orange flowers, interspersed with very similar yellow ones, and often the white of daisies, is a good sign that you are in Hawkweed country.
Pilosella officinarum, known as mouse-ear hawkweed, is a yellow-flowered species of flowering plant in the daisy family Compositae, native to Europe and northern Asia. It produces single, lemon-coloured inflorescences. Like most hawkweed species, it is highly variable and is a member of a species complex of several dozens of subspecies and hundreds of varieties and forms. It is an allelopathic plant.
Hieracium albiflorum, known by the names white hawkweed and white-flowered hawkweed, is a common and widespread species of plant in the family Asteraceae.
Hieracium umbellatum, the Canadian hawkweed, Canada hawkweed, narrowleaf hawkweed, or northern hawkweed, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.
Pilosella caespitosa is like several other Pilosella species and has a similar appearance to many of the hawkweeds.
Hieracium horridum, known as the prickly hawkweed or shaggy hawkweed, is a species of plant in the family Asteraceae. It gets its name from the long, dense, shaggy white to brown hairs (trichomes) which cover all of the plant parts of this plant species. The species is native to Oregon, California, and Nevada in the western United States.
Hieracium scouleri, known as Scouler's woollyweed, is a species of flowering plant in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. It is native to western North America, from British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, and south to northern California and Utah in the United States.
Hieracium amplexicaule, commonly known as sticky hawkweed, is a perennial herb belonging to the family Asteraceae. This species is native to certain regions of Europe and has been introduced to other parts of the world, where it is considered a xenophyte.
Pilosella floribunda is a species of noxious and herbaceous perennial plant from family Asteraceae that is known in Europe and can also be found in United States and Canada. It was believed that it was a hybrid of Pilosella caespitosa (Hieracium caespitosum and Pilosella lactucella.
Pilosella lactucella is a species of perennial plant from the family Asteraceae, found in Europe, New York and Nova Scotia (Canada). It is 9–20 centimetres (3.5–7.9 in) in height, with stems from 1–2 millimetres (0.039–0.079 in) wide. The leaves are spatula shaped and 5–8 centimetres (2.0–3.1 in) wide. The flowers bloom from May to July, the heads of which are 2–5 centimetres (0.79–1.97 in) tall. It was once described by Carl Linnaeus as Hieracium auricula and Pilosella auricula, but was recategorized by A. E. Roland and M. Zinck in 1998.
Hieracium triste, commonly known as woolly hawkweed, is a species of flowering plant. It is native to North America where it is widespread across western Canada and the western United States from Alaska, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories south as far as California and New Mexico.
Hieracium schultzii, the roughstem hawkweed, is a species of plant in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. It is widespread across much of Mexico with a few populations in Guatemala and western Texas.
Hieracium praetenerum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.
Hieracium hjeltii is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.
Hieracium coronarium is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.
Hieracium crispulum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae. It is native to Finland and northwestern and northern Russia.
Hieracium argenteum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.
Hieracium sylvularum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.
Hieracium hethlandiae, known as Cliva Hill hawkweed, is a species of hawkweed native to Shetland. The species was first published in 1946.
Hieracium schmidtii is a perennial species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Europe, Lebanon-Syria, and Turkey. It was first described by Ignaz Friedrich Tausch in 1828. As of October 2024, Plants of the World Online accepted over 60 subspecies. Many of the subspecies have been treated as separate species; as one example Hieracium schmidtii subsp. graniticum has been treated as Hieracium graniticum and Hieracium sylvaticum.
