Hieracium Wiesbaurianum Subsp. Dasychaetum

Hieracium wiesbaurianum subsp. dasychaetum is a lesser-known member of the dandelion family found primarily in the mountainous regions of Central Europe. This subspecies is characterized by its dense, hairy leaves and yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in rocky and dry habitats, often growing in alpine meadows and open woodlands. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a rare and delicate plant. Conservation efforts are essential to protect this unique subspecies from environmental threats.
