rough hawkweed, Hieracium scabrum
Hawkweeds too have native and introduced species. If you see them in weedy places, they're most likely introduced. If you see them in wilder spots, they're more likely native. Rough hawkweed was along a forest rail into a gorge in the Upper Peninsula. We were on our way to see a waterfall and visiting with plants too. This native is distinguished by all those glandular hairs. Rough hawkweed is a woodland plant in AR, CT, DE, GA, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN(T), VA, VT, WA, WV, BC, NB, NF, NS, ON, PE, QC, and on SPM. Baraga Co MI, 7/13/14. Aster family, Asteraceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
