Hawkbit

Hawkbit (Leontodon), a genus of plants of weedy aspect belonging to the natural order Compositæ, closely related to and formerly united with Dandelion (q.v.), from which it has been separated on account of the feathery pappus. The name is due to the deep tooth-like lacerations of the leaves. Several species are natives of Britain, and these, along with a few others comprised in the genus, are widely distributed in Europe and Russian Asia.
