About Crepis capillaris (L.) Wallr.
Crepis capillaris, commonly known as smooth hawksbeard, is a flowering plant species belonging to the tribe Cichorieae of the family Asteraceae. This species is native to Europe, but has become naturalized in other regions, and is considered a weed in some areas. It is a low-growing annual plant, commonly found in disturbed ground and open habitats including thin grassland, lawns, spoil heaps, rocky banks, and roadsides. Its stems often trail along the ground, though they may sometimes grow erect, and its leaves sometimes form a rosette. In the Northern Hemisphere, it flowers from June to December, and produces a cluster of numerous small flower heads. Each flower head holds up to 60 yellow ray florets, and has no disc florets.
