Crepis vesicaria is a European species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae with the common name beaked hawk's-beard .[ 2] [ 3] It is native to the Western and Southern Europe from Ireland and Portugal east as far as Germany , Austria , and Greece .[ 3] It became naturalized in scattered locations in North America .[ 3] [ 4]
Crepis vesicaria is an annual , biennial , or perennial herb up to 120 cm (48 inches or 4 feet) tall, producing a large underground caudex . Each plant can have as many as 20 flower heads , each with up to 70 ray florets but no disc florets . It grows on hillsides and in sandy clearings.[ 5]
A prominent plant, Crepis vesicaria stands erect, with many branches, each ending in its own dandelion-like flower.[ 6]
The underside of the flower has two layers of leaf-like phyllaries . The inner layer is longer and pointed, and often curls back away from the rest of the flower head. The outer layer is substantially shorter.[ 6]
