A distinction is made between the glabrous hawkweed, which occurs in Europe and western Siberia, from the Mediterranean region to Iran and North Africa, and the hairy hawkweed, which occurs on the Canary Islands, in the Mediterranean region, East Africa and South America.

These are annual to perennial, flat-growing herbs. The glabrous hawkweed flowers from June to October, the hairy hawkweed from May to September.

The dried leaves, stems and flowers are used phytotherapeutically; see Herba herniariae.
