Question
Good morning Arthur I believe that I have found Hieracium paniculatum... and would appreciate your input. From a previous post you indicated the phyllaries were important for the ID. I am a little confused when Go Botany stipulates that the leaf is entire and then the next line states the edge of the blade has teeth. Is this in reference to the position of the blades on the stem? I.e. the basal blades have teeth and the upper blades do not. Again Thank you for your interest and help
Answer
califyank, good morning. You have some other species of composite here, but I can't see enough of it to tell you who you have. The peduncles for the flower heads are much too thick (Hieracium paniculatum has very slender peduncles) and the leaves aren't quite right as well. Hieracium paniculatum comes from forests and woodlands--where did this specimen grow? Thank you.
