Hieracium Chondrillifolium Subsp. Dolichocephalum

Hieracium chondrillifolium subsp. dolichocephalum is a lesser-known member of the dandelion family known for its distinctive leaf shapes and yellow flower heads. This subspecies thrives in moist, disturbed soils and is commonly found in meadows and along riverbanks. Its name reflects its unique leaf structure, which resembles that of chondrillae, a type of plant known for its medicinal properties. While not widely cultivated, it holds ecological value by supporting pollinators and contributing to soil stability. Despite its modest appearance, it is a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
