Hieracium Bifidum Subsp. Oblongatum

Hieracium bifidum subsp. oblongatum is a lesser-known member of the dandelion family known for its unique leaf shape and subtle beauty. Found in moist, shaded areas of temperate regions, this plant thrives in environments where competition for sunlight is high. Its small, inconspicuous flowers bloom in early summer, adding a delicate touch to the undergrowth. Though not widely cultivated, it plays an important role in supporting local insect life. Understanding and preserving such species is key to maintaining ecological balance in natural habitats.
