Hieracium venosum (Robin's plantain, rattlesnakeweed, or rattlesnake hawkweed) is a species of hawkweed in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae. It is widespread and common in south-central Canada (Ontario) and the eastern United States (from Michigan east to Maine and south as far as Florida and Mississippi). Its common name comes from the fact that environments it is found in are typically also a home to rattlesnakes.
