Hieracium Homoeodontum

Hieracium homoeodontum is a lesser-known member of the dandelion family known for its striking yellow flowers and unique leaf patterns. Native to parts of Europe and Asia, this plant thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and riverbanks. Its common name, "Homeodontum," refers to its distinctive leaf shape, which resembles a home or dwelling. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked in favor of more showy dandelion relatives. This plant plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecological balance in its habitat.
