Orange Hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca)

The orange hawkweed is a perennial herbaceous plant that reaches heights of 15 to 60 centimeters. The species forms both above- and underground runners. The upright stems are covered with numerous fine, 2 to 4 millimeter long, dark hairs and have a finely but roughly hairy base.[2][3]

At the base of the stem there are three to eight, occasionally more basal leaves, while on the stem there are no or one, occasionally more leaves. The leaf blade is 4.5 to 16 centimeters long and 1 to 3.5 centimeters wide, spatulate to oblanceolate with a wedge-shaped blade base and a pointed blade tip. The blade edges are entire. Both the underside and the upper side of the leaf are covered with numerous 1 to 2 millimeter long, fine, dark hairs.
