Hieracium Nigrescens Subsp. Scoliodon

Hieracium nigrescens subsp. scoliodon is a lesser-known member of the daisy family, known for its striking appearance and ecological significance. Found primarily in temperate regions, this plant thrives in moist, shaded environments such as woodlands and meadows. Its dark purple flowers and hairy stems make it easily distinguishable from other hawkweed species. Despite its beauty, it is often overlooked due to its modest size and subtle coloration. This subspecies plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining biodiversity in its native habitat.
