    This plant is growing in Malden, MA. Pretty sure it's a hawkweed, but would love to know what kind for my curiosity's sake. Thanks for any help! :)

    Answer

    Dear Erin_MA, good morning. You have collected (mostly likely) either Hieracium kalmii (Canada hawkweed) or Hieracium sabaoudum (Savoy hawkweed). The former is native the latter is non-native. I would need additional to tell you which species you have for certain (such as a mature plant with a full view of all the flowers heads on the plant). I hope this is helpful.
