Orange Hawkweed (Hieracium aurantiacum)
I've found nothing that indicates this plant can not be eaten. Thanks to Geneve Dagenais who found this information regarding a native hawkweed species:
Handbook on grazing values of range plants of BC by research station, Kamloops Canada dept of Ag 1964 by Alastair McLean, ER Smith and WL Pringle. Grazing Preference: High for all stock in summer. Flowers in mid-July and august, soon becoming harsh. Nutritive Value: medium protein in spring, low when mature. Crude Fiber medium in spring, medium to high later in season. Indicator Values: Presence on grazed range indicated proper use. Special remarks: A preferred forage plant but of low yield due to sparse growth and basal leaves. Does not stand up to heavy grazing.
