Native rhizomatous perennial, stem ranging from nearly glabrous to densely wooly-hairy, stem producing a milky juice.[2][3]

Leaves are elliptical, winged petioles towards base, becoming smaller and sessile up the stem.[4] Leaves are generally hairy on both sides, with long, smooth, or barbellate hairs, not glandular, if leaves are subglabular (almost hairless), then the midveins and margins often have short-glandular hairs, leaves tufted at base during anthesis.[3]

Inflorescence consists of yellow ray florets, subtended by an involucre of overlapping gland tipped bracts.[5] Receptacle naked.[3]

Fruit is a ribbed achene, ~3mm. long, pappus whitish or tawny.[6]

Genus comes from Greek hierax, hawk.[3]
