  Middle Path plants - Catsear - foods herbs weeds medicine.
The Catsear plant looks very similar to Dandelion, but has several branches coming from the central stalk with a smaller yellow flower and leaves.
In Europe this "weed" is still a delicacy - served with olive oil and garlic - used in the same manner as Dandelion.
Catsear's medicinal properties are similar to Dandelion but less potent.

 Dandelion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dandelions are so similar to catsears (Hypochoeris) that catsears are also known as "false dandelions".
However, catsear flowering stems are forked and solid, whereas dandelions possess unforked stems that are hollow.
However, the leaves of dandelions are jagged in appearance, whereas those of catsear are more lobe-shaped and hairy.

 Glenvale Publications - Golf and Sports Turf
For example, catsear is sometimes also called flatweed or rooted catsear, and hawkbit can be known as hairy hawkbit, common hawkbit and lesser hawkbit.
There are no leaves on the flower stems of catsear whereas with hawksbeard there is almost always at least one leaf on the stem, though these leaves are usually much smaller than the rosette leaves.
Dandelion, hawksbeard, hawkbit and catsear are all perennial weeds, but they can also act as annuals or biennials under adverse environmental conditions, escaping the effects of severe drought as seeds.

The rosette growth habit, irregularly lobed leaves, and bright yellow flowers are all characteristics that help with the identification of common catsear.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) also resembles common catsear but has much more divided leaves and does not have hairs like either common catsear or mouseear hawkweed.
