Summary

[edit]
Description Introduced, yearlong-green, short-lived perennial, tap-rooted herb to 40 cm tall. Leaves form a rosette and are hairy (hairs 2-3 forked at tip), toothed (or with triangular lobes) and to 10 cm long. Flowerheads are solitary heads borne on solid unbranched stems; each head has many yellow ligulate flowers. Fruit are achenes of 2 types: outer smooth or finely rough, not beaked, curved and with a pappus of small scales; inner rough, more or less beaked and with pappus in 2 rows, outer simple, inner feathery. Flowering occurs over most of the year. A native of Europe, it is most common in overgrazed pastures, lawns and wasteland; in full sun conditions. Tolerates a wide range of sites and soil conditions. An indicator of disturbance. It is grazed by livestock, but has low palatability. Tolerant of heavily grazed situations as it has prostrate leaves that are not readily available to cattle. It increases under grazing systems that reduce ground cover. Control in pasture situations is through good fertiliser and grazing management.
