Description: Plants with yellow dandelion-like flowers are often difficult to identify for the non-specialist. This one is an annual species with a basal rosette of shiny hairless leaves (glabra means hairless) and bearing the small flower heads on the ends of a branched stem which can reach about twelve inches in very robust plants, but is usually much less. Its main habitat is sand dune grassland along the North Coast.

All names: Hypochaeris glabra L.; Hypochoeris glabra L.
