This herbaceous perennial is found beside shady streams and in other damp shady places.[6] The inflorescence is around 15–25 millimetres (0.6–1.0 in) in diameter.[6] The upper leaves clasp the stem with pair of rounded basal lobes. It is a much more robust plant than smooth hawksbeard, Crepis capillaris, with which it is sometimes confused.[citation needed] The Flower heads are yellow and the flower buds are covered with black gland-hairs.[6]
