Hypochaeris glabra (Asteraceae) 2:386

Hypochaeris glabra (Smooth Cat's Ear) is a common weed of grassy places in Tasmania. The rosettes are flat, the leaves are elongated and have a few rounded teeth, and the upper surface of the leaf lacks hairs (except sometimes for a few on the margins. The plant usually has many flower heads.

It is usually smaller (usually with rosettes less than 10cm wide) than its relative, H. radicata, which also has erect hairs.
