Rattlesnake Weed (Hieracium venosum)

Rattlesnake Weed (Hieracium venosum)While hiking yesterday, we came across this plant. It was kind of interesting and we identified it by looking, first, in our botany books. Later, we found this photo on the internet. I took some pictures, too, but the plant we photographed had not yet flowered. This plant had some remedial properties--astringent, used as a medicine by the American Indians for gastro ailments. I'll add some of the pictures we took when I get a minute.
