"Hieracium albertinum", known as Western Hawkweed or Houndstongue Hawkweed, is a species of the "Hieracium" genus that is very similar to "Hieracium albiflorum" with white flowers but differs in that the flower heads are clustered and the leaves, stems and bracts are covered in a thick layer of hairs. Standing convert|1|in|cm|0 to convert|5|in|cm|0 tall, it can be found blooming from June through August in forest clearings.cite book

There is some concern for "Hieracium albertinum" (and other native species) because while they are members of the "Hieracium" genus whose introduced species are often aggressively invasive or weedy, reproducing vegetatively from aboveground runners called stolons or from wandering underground roots called rhizomes, the less aggressive native hawkweeds reproduce only by reseeding.cite web
