WHAT DOES HAWKWEED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hawkweed

Hieracium

Hieracium /haɪ.ərˈæsiəm/, known by the common name hawkweed and classically as hierakion, is a genus of the sunflower family Asteraceae, and closely related to dandelion, chicory, prickly lettuce and sow thistle, which are part of the tribe Cichorieae. Hawkweeds, with their 10,000+ recorded species and subspecies, do their part to make Asteraceae the second largest family of flowers. Some botanists group all these species or subspecies into approximately 800 accepted species, while others prefer to accept several thousand species. Since most hawkweeds reproduce exclusively asexually by means of seeds that are genetically identical to their mother plant, clones or populations that consist of genetically identical plants are formed and some botanists prefer to accept these clones as good species whereas others try to group them into a few hundred more broadly defined species.

Definition of hawkweed in the English dictionary

The definition of hawkweed in the dictionary is any typically hairy plant of the genus Hieracium, with clusters of dandelion-like flowers: family Asteraceae.
