Leontodon
''Leontodon'' is a genus of plants in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae, commonly known as hawkbits. Their English name derives from the mediaeval belief that hawks ate the plant to improve their eyesight. Although originally only native to Eurasia and North Africa, some species have since become established in other countries, including the United States and New Zealand. Recent research has shown that the genus ''Leontodon'' in the traditional delimitation is polyphyletic. Therefore, the former ''Leontodon'' subgenus ''Oporinia'' was raised to generic level. According to the nomenclatural rules the name '' Scorzoneroides'' has priority at generic level and therefore, the members of ''Leontodon'' subgenus ''Oporinia'' were transferred to the re-erected genus ''Scorzoneroides''. Ecology Seeds of ''Leontodon'' species are an important food source for certain bird species. Uses In Crete, the species ''Leontodon tuberosus'' which is called ('), (') or (') has i ...

Scorzoneroides
''Scorzoneroides'' or hawkbits is a genus of plants of the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. ''Scorzoneroides'' used to be included in the genus ''Leontodon''. Recent molecular studies revealed that ''Leontodon'' in the older, broader sense is an unnatural adhesion of two separate groupings. Therefore, the former subgenus ''Oporinia'' of the genus ''Leontodon'' had to be resurrected as a separate genus. Secondary metabolites In some members of the genus ''Scorzoneroides'', germacranolides and costus lactone-type guaianolides were detected. The genus is a rich source of hieracin-type and lactucin-type guaianolides. Phenolics found in flowering heads of ''Scorzoneroides'' taxa include luteolin type flavonoids and caffeoyl quinic acid derivatives such as chlorogenic acid and 3,5- dicaffeoylquinic acid. Moreover, ''Scorzoneroides'' are source species of caffeoyl tartaric acid derivatives caffeoyl tartaric acid and cichoric acid Chicoric acid (also known as cich ...
