Lapsana apogonoides,
an annual or biennial, grows on roadsides or corners of parks or
yards and is occasionally found in colonies. The whole feels soft,
with some fine hairs. Radical leaves lie in a rosette way, measuring
8-25cm in length, 1.7-6cm in width, and deeply cut in a lyrate way;
the terminal lobes are triangular-ovate, with tips round. On-stem
leaves on the lower parts are somewhat sharp, while those on the
upper parts are fewer in number and smaller, with a tinge of
brown-purple. Stem tips bear 7-8mm across yellow flowers in a
caribou way. Bloom time: May-October. |
