Question
Hypochaeris chillensis? white sap, in central georgia
Answer
Dear weedid, all I can write is it could be. Hypochaeris chillensis doesn't occur in the northeast so I am not familiar with this plants various leaf morphologies. From what I have seen (which is limited), your plant seems much more pubescent than the specimens I have seen. You can help confirm your hypothesis by closely examining the flowers (which are about to open on these plants). They should have plumose pappus bristles, breaked ovaries (at least the inner ones), and chaffy scales on the receptacle. Best wishes.
