Lactuca serriola is another plant I have grown to love. This plant has two leaf morphologies (this confused me for a long time). Some plants have very lobed leaves, while others are not lobed (see photos below). All leaves have spines on the back of the leaf along the mid-vien (see photo below).
It is an annual or biennial plant that emits a milky substance when cut. It is in the Asteraceae family, can be found across the United States and is native to Eurasia.
