Rattlesnake hawkweed is distinguished by its basal rosette of oval, slightly hairy leaves that are often purplish-veined, giving it a distinctive appearance. In the flowering season, it produces a slender stalk, up to 24 inches (60 cm) high, crowned with small, bright yellow flower heads. Each flower is characterized by numerous ray florets that surround a central disc, typical of the Asteraceae family. Its fibrous root system allows it to thrive in drier conditions.
