Description
Hawkweed oxtongue is described as having long and narrow simple leaves, with or without teeth, resembling an ox's tongue. The leaves at the base form a rosette, while the stems can grow up to 1 metre (3.2 feet) in height. The plant blooms in summer, producing small, yellow flower with many petals, somewhat resembling a dandelion.
