    Small little plant on a bed of moss near riverside in central mass. Older leaves tinged purple. Leaves have small hairs.

    Answer

    Howard, good morning. This may be a species of Hieracium (hawkweed), though I would need more information to be certain. There are some species in New England that have the purple tinging that is displayed in the images you have uploaded. Best wishes.
