Hieracium albertinum, known as western hawkweed or houndstongue hawkweed, is a species of the Hieracium genus that is very similar to Hieracium albiflorum with white flowers but differs in that the flower heads are clustered and the leaves, stems and bracts are covered in a thick layer of hairs. Standing 1 inch (3 cm) to 5 inches (13 cm) tall, it can be found blooming from June through August in forest clearings. Hieracium scouleri or Scouler's woollyweed, which has also been accepted as a synonym for Hieracium albertinum, has a different distribution range and yellow flowers.
