Discussion | Hieracium longipilum may be no longer present in Quebec. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
The type of Hieracium floribundum Wimmer & Grabowski probably resulted from a cross between plants of H. caespitosum and H. lactucella (P. D. Sell and C. West 1976). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
