erect, 3-12 dm. tall, commonly widely branched above, villous at the base: leaf-blades 
linear-elliptic to broadly elliptic, 4-12 cm. long, acute or acuminate at both ends, repand-

2. Hieracium Floridànum Britton. Foliage decidedly pubescent, green. Stems 
mostly over 1 m. tall, rather widely branched above, copiously leafy, shaggy with some- 
what rufous hairs below the inflorescence: leaf-blades thickish, oval-oblong on the lower 
part of the stem, ovate above, 2.5-9 cm. long, sparingly pubescent with long hairs, obtuse, 
obscurely glandular-denticulate, sessile by the truncate or subcordate bases : peduncles slen- 
der, glandular-pubescent : involucres 8-9 mm. high ; inner bracts acute : pappus somewhat 
tawny : achenes fusiform, 3 mm. long. 
In sandy soil, Florida. Summer. 
3. Hieracium Scribneri Small. Foliage glaucescent. Stems erect, 3-7 dm. tail, 
branching above, more or less densely pubescent below with spreading silvery hairs: 
leaf-blades spatulate or oblong-spatulate below, narrowly spatulate to lanceolate above, 
remotely denticulate, ciliate, 3-12 cm. long, the lower ones narrowed into winged petioles : 
inflorescence corymbose : heads showy : involucres about 1 cm. high ; inner bracts linear- 
subulate, acuminate, more or less glandular: achenes columnar, 3-3.5 mm. long, the ribs 
not prominent, barbed upward: pappus tawny, surpassed by the involucre. 
On hillsides, Tennessee to Georgia and Alabama. Spring. 
4. Hieracium vendsum L. Foliage nearly glabrous. Stems erect, solitary or several 
together, scape-like, 3-6 dm. tall, corymbosely branched above: leaves mainly basal, or 1 
or 2 on the stem ; blades obovate or spatulate, 5-15 cm. long, commonly purple-veined, 
undulate or repand-denticulate, more or less villous on the nerves beneath, ciliate, sessile 
or narrowed into winged petioles : peduncles slender, often slightly glandular-pubescent : 
involucres 6-8 mm. long; inner bracts linear, tapering to the apex: achenes columnar, 
about 3 mm. long : pappus surpassing the involucres. 
In open woods and thickets, Maine to Ontario, Manitoba, Georgia and Nebraska. Spring to fall. 
5. Hieracium Mariànum Willd. Foliage softly hirsute below. Stems rather stout, 
5-10 dm. tall, more or less widely branched into a corymbose panicle: leaves basal, and 
few or several along the stem ; blades pene ae to oblong-obovate or nearly oblong, 6-20 
cm. long, ciliate, undulate or repand-denticulate, narrowed into winged petioles or the 
upper sessile : peduncles slender, more or less densely glandular-pubescent : involucres 6-7 
mm. long ; inner bracts narrowly linear-lanceolate, glabrous or slightly pubescent : achenes 
columnar, 2.5 mm. long. 
In dry open woods and thiekets, Rhode Island to New York and Kentucky, south to Florida and 
Alabama. Spring and early summer. 
6. Hieracium Greénii Porter & Britton. Foliage hirsute, or shaggy below. 
Stems scape-like, erect, solitary or tufted, 3-9 dm. tall, corymbose above, naked or nearly 
so : leaves basal, or rarely 1 or 2 on the stem ; blades spatulate or oblong-spatulate, 5-20 cm. 
long, obtuse, ciliate, undulate, narrowed into winged petioles : peduncles glandular-pilose : 
involucres 6-7 mm. long ; inner bracts linear or narrowly linear-lanceolate, acute : achenes 
3-3.5 mm. long, columnar: pappus tawny. 
On mountain slopes, Pennsylvania to Georgia. Spring. 
7. Hieracium scábrum Michx. Foliage hirsute-hispid below. Stems erect, 3-9 
dm. tall, paniculately branched and glandular-hirsute above, leafy to the inflorescence : 
leaf-blades thickish, spatulate to obovate or oblong, 3-12 cm. long, acute or apiculate, un- 
dulate or repand-denticulate, the lower narrowed into winged petioles, the upper sessile by 
narrow bases: panicle commonly elongated: peduncles rather rigid : involucres 5-6 mm.
