Canadian hawkweed flowers - hieracium umbellatum during spring (close up)

Many yellow flowers of an unidentified Hawkweed (Hieracium spp) in central Scotland. The Hawkweeds, a member of the Daisy family, is notoriously difficult to identify to species level, requiring specialist knowledge and an examination in the hand, and more usually with a microscope. There are around 20 species in the UK but they hybridise extensively and geneticists have identified hundreds of distinct genetic varieties that they term ‘microspecies’, the ecological and taxonomic status of which are largely unknown.
