This dandelion-looking plant is slender hawksbeard (Crepis atribarba), part of the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It grows from 6,000 to 10,500 feet in this area, and is native to western North America. It has very narrow, pointed leaves. For more information about slender hawksbeard, click here.
This blog features a plant a day as I try to learn all the plants in the area where I live, in the central Great Basin. There are more than 1,000 plants known in this area, so it may take a few years!
Eventually I hope to have a photo for every plant listed in the Snake Range Key (link coming soon).
