Hieracium Obscurisquamum

Common hawkweed, scientifically known as Hieracium obscurisquamum, is a perennial flowering plant native to parts of Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its bright yellow flowers and hairy, lance-shaped leaves that help it thrive in a variety of habitats. This species is often found in meadows, grasslands, and disturbed soils, where it spreads through rhizomes and seeds. Despite its beauty, it is considered an invasive species in some regions, outcompeting native plants and altering local ecosystems. Its resilience and adaptability make it both a subject of ecological study and a challenge for land managers.
