description_en: Genus of 250-260 species (often sub-divided into about 10,000 microspecies) of perennials, many of which are weeds. They are widespread over the N. hemi-sphere, occurring in diverse habitats, including grassland, dry, stony slopes, cultivated fields, and alpine meadows. They have basal rosettes of lance-shaped to linear or obovate, entire to deeply toothed, pale to dark green leaves, and dandelion-like flowerheads with strap-shaped ray-florets. Those described below are grown mainly for their downy foliage and loose panicles of yellow flowerheads borne in summer. They are suitable for a large rock garden or wild garden, but may self-seed freely.
