Discussion | Hieracium longipilum may be no longer present in Quebec. (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.) |
