  • Question

    Growing out of a rock beside a road in the woods in Lincoln, Massachusetts. Is this the first year form of a biennial or perennial Asteraceae?

    Answer

    jfc, it looks like the rosette of a species of Hieracium (hawkweed), but I wouldn't know for certain without seeing it in person. It does look like a member of the Asteraceae, as you suggested.
