Hieracium parryi is a North American plant species in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. It grows only in the western United States, in southwestern Oregon and northeastern California.[1][2] It is commonly known as woollyweed.[3]

Hieracium parryi is an herb up to 45 cm (18 in) tall, with leaves mostly on the stem with only a few in a rosette at the bottom. Leaves are up to 150 mm (5.9 in) long, hairy, sometimes with teeth on the edges. One stalk can produce 1–12 flower heads in a flat-topped array. Each head has 30–60 yellow ray flowers but no disc flowers.[4] Its habitats include grassy slopes and brush openings.[4]
