Summary
| Description |
English: A rosette of Pilosella aurantiaca uprooted and turned upside down to show its shallow fibrous roots and radiating stolons. One of the commonest weed species in the Scottish border village of Paxton, near Berwick-upon-Tweed. Widely tolerated for its attractive orange flowers but spreading rapidly sexually by the pappus-tufted fruits of its ‘dandelion clock’ infructescences and vegetatively by its creeping stolons. Forms large clumps, which are fortunately easy to dig out due to the shallowness of the root systems. Flowers attractive to bumblebees.
Common names include ‘Fox and cubs’, ‘Devil’s paintbrush’ and ‘Grim-the-collier’. |
