|discussion=<p><i>Hypochaeris glabra</i> is usually distinguishable by its annual habit and relatively small size, slender and shallow roots, fine stems, often glabrous leaves, and beakless, truncate outer cypselae. Occasional specimens are larger and have induments characteristics of <i>H. radicata</i>; they can be distinguished by the dimorphic cypselae.</p>
