Synonyms [1] | |
Leontodon autumnalis L. |
Scorzoneroides autumnalis, commonly called autumn hawkbit, [2] is a perennial plant species, widespread in its native range in Eurasia (from Europe east to western Siberia), [3] and introduced in North America. [4]
The plant is sometimes called fall dandelion, because it is very similar to the common dandelion (one of the main differences being a branched stem with several capitula [5]), but "yellow fields", covered by this plant appear much later than dandelions, towards the autumn in the Eastern Europe. In the Latin synonym of the plant name, Leontodon autumnalis, [6]"leontodon" means "lion's tooth", the same as "dandelion".
Scorzoneroides autumnalis is a perennial herb growing to 35 cm high usually with branched stems and several flower-heads each about 30 mm across. The florets are all ligulate and bright yellow. The leaves are all basal and linear-oblong. [6]
Flowers in June to October producing achenes. [6]
Frequent in damp grassland [6] and meadows. [7]
The fly Tephritis leontodontis is known to attack the capitula of this plant. [8]
Abundant in Ireland and Great Britain. [7]
