Hypochaeris radicataCatsearsOther names: Flatweed, Hypochoeris sp. A common weed of developed land. Leaves grow from a basal rosette. Closely resembles Taraxacum sp. (Dandelions), Crepis and Leontodon taraxacoides. Its leaves are hairy (and look, and feel a bit like cat's ears) and not so sharply toothed around the edges as dandelion, but more rounded. Flowers are yellow and the tiny light seeds form into the familiar rounded shape that is seen in unmowed lawns everywhere. It is often much more common than true dandelion. In many gardens I have seen there is something like 100 catesars for every dandelion.
