some medicinal uses are listed, but many people have reactions to handling the plant. leaves long and wider near the tip, toothed. Erect plant with many leaves attached to stalk, unbranched except at top where florets form. Whole plant is hairy. Plant grows from a shallow taproot with fibrous roots also. Flowers small, white to yellowish, in dense dandelion-like heads. Excellent material for hand-drill friction fire.
