Scorzoneroides montana subsp. montana

Scorzoneroides or hawkbits is a genus of plants of the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae.[2][3]

Scorzoneroides used to be included in the genus Leontodon. Recent molecular studies revealed that Leontodon in the older, broader sense is an unnatural adhesion of two separate groupings. Therefore, the former subgenus Oporinia of the genus Leontodon had to be resurrected as a separate genus.[4] [5]
