Agoseris glauca
Also called Pale False Dandelion, Pale Goat Chicory, Prairie Agoseris, Smooth Agoseris, Yellow False Dandelion, Arctic Agoseris, Pale Dandelion
Agoseris glauca is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names false dandelion, pale agoseris, prairie agoseris, and short-beaked agoseris. It is native to western North America.
The plant is native to western and northwestern North America from Alaska east to the Northwest Territories and Ontario, southeast to California, Arizona, and New Mexico. It grows in many habitat types, usually those which are non-forested.
The plant contains a bitter milky juice, which solidifies into a substance that can be chewed as gum; this may have been done by some Plains Indians.
