Hieracium umbellatum
Bright yellow, dandelion-like flowers that have coarse toothed, narrow leaves. It belongs to the aster family.
Spotted at Tamarac NWR on North River Road. Dry sunny area along the road.
The name "Hawkweed" came from the mistaken belief that hawks ate the flowers to improve their vision.
