Sticky Groundsel

Open rocky, gravelly alpine.

Only one small patch, growing right next to the trail. Flowers very early in the season, immediately after snowmelt.

I saw just one plant of this species on the peninsula. The flower suggests Hieracium and the dentate leaf edge lead me to the id. The stem and leaf edge appear to be hairy.
