Derivation of the botanical name: Hieracium from ancient Greek hierax, "a hawk". Pliny the Elder (23-79 CE) believed that hawks fed on this plant to strengthen their eyesight and thus it became the Greek and Latin name for this and similar plants, called hawkweed. Tridentata, three-toothed. The standard author abbreviation Fr. is used to indicate Elias Magnus Fries (1794 – 1878), a Swedish mycologist and botanist. The standard author abbreviation Gremli is used to indicate August Gremli (1833 – 1899), a Swiss physician and botanist.
