Hieracium lachenalii, or common hawkweed, is a species of plant in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. It is native to Europe but has become established as a weed in Australia and parts of North America.

Taxonomy

The species was widely known for many years as H. vulgatum,[1] but more recent studies have indicated that the two names represent the same species. The name H. lachenalii was coined in 1802,[2] and H. vulgatum in 1819,[3] so per taxonomic regulations, the older name is to be used, with H. vulgatum delegated to being a synonym.[4]

Description

This common weed can grow and produce flowers on plants that range from Script error: No such module "convert". to Script error: No such module "convert". tall. The rhizome is short and stout. The broadly elliptic leaves can be up to Script error: No such module "convert". long and taper with teeth towards the base.[5] Each flower head has 40-80 ray florets but no disc florets.[6][7] Bracts surround the flower head; the receptacle (basal part of the flower on which the florets are attached) is flat and naked; heads tend to start together then become somewhat solitary on long leafless stems.[6] The stalks below the heads are covered with scattered, simple and gland-tipped black hairs and contain a milky substance.[7]

The pale yellow flowers are produced during all of the summer months. The fruit are dark brown achenes.[5]
