Distribution | Mountains and upper Piedmont.
N.S. to southern Ont., south to northern GA and AL. | |
Abundance | Fairly common to common in the Mountains, but generally infrequent in the western Piedmont, mainly in the foothills. | |
Habitat | Dry to mesic forests and woodlands, especially where disturbed, such as logging roads, trailsides, wooded borders. | |
Phenology | Flowering and fruiting July-October. | |
Identification | Most stems grow 2-4 feet tall, with numerous, thin-textured, glabrate, irregularly blunt-toothed, leaves that reach into the inflorescence. The inflorescence is very open and broad, the heads on long, slender, and often curving branches. The numerous thin-textured leaves and very open inflorescence are unlike our other Hieracium species, but as with the others the numerous flowers have ray florets only and are yellow in color. | |
