Paraprenanthes sororia is very tough and prolific and has a fairly broad range, like its close relatives Dandelion and Salsify, but unlike them it is not considered a weed. Its species name, sororia, means "of a sister."
Paraprenanthes diversifolia was a hard to classify plant for a long time, and is often confused with its relative, P. Sororia. It has recently had its entire genome mapped, settling the discussion. A small, annual herb, it can be found in temperate to subtropical mountain valleys and forests.
