Yellow Hawkweed

Description:

Yellow Hawkweed (Hieracium pratense) is a hairy perennial plant native to Europe. In North America, this plant has escaped cultivation and is a common weed of fields and roadsides. The flowers are yellow, reminiscent of a dandelion, but borne on tall, very hairy stems. It is sometimes known as the "King Devil."[1] [2]:174 Pliny the Elder wrote that hawks ate this plant to improve their vision, and it has been used as an herbal remedy for vision problems.

Habitat:

In a meadow.
