Discussion | Hieracium longiberbe is known only from along the Columbia River. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
The type of Hieracium trigonophorum Oskarsson is probably conspecific with that of H. alpinum. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
