What is "scorzoneroides"

Scorzoneroides or hawkbits is a genus of plants of dandelion tribe within the daisy family.

Scorzoneroides used to be included in the genus Leontodon. Recent molecular studies revealed that Leontodon in the older, broader sense is an unnatural adhesion of two separate groupings. Therefore, the former subgenus Oporinia of the genus Leontodon had to be resurrected as a separate genus.
