}}Lactuca muralis, the wall lettuce, is a perennial flowering plant of the genus Lactuca in the dandelion tribe within the daisy family, also referred to Mycelis muralis (L.) Dumort.[2][3]

Its chief characteristic is an open airy clumps of yellow flowers. Each "flower" is actually a composite flower, consisting of 4-5 petal-like flowers (strap or ray flowers), each approximately {{convert|5|–|7|mm|in|abbr=on}} in length. There are no disc flowers. Lactuca muralis grows about {{convert|2|-|4|feet|m|1}} tall with the lower leaves pinnately toothed and clasping.

Description

Lactuca muralis is slender, hairless herb[2] growing from {{convert|25|to|150|cm|in|0|abbr=on}} tall. It often has purplish stems, and exudes a milky juice.

The lower leaves are lyre shaped, pinnate shaped. The lobes are triangular in shape the terminal lobe being the largest.[4] The upper leaves are stalkless, smaller and less lobed. All leaves are red tinged.[5]

The achenes are short beaked, spindle shaped and black. The pappus has simple white hairs,[2] the inner longer than the outer.

The flower heads are yellow, small with only 4-5 yellow ray florets.[6][2] {{convert|1|cm|in|frac=4|abbr=on}} wide more or less, on branches 90 degrees to the main stem, in loose panicle.[7] It flowers from June until September.[8]

Lactuca muralis is similar to Lactuca serriola L. and Lactuca virosa L. but clearly distinguished having only 5 florets.[9]

Taxonomy

The Latin specific epithet muralis is derived from the Latin word meaning 'growing on the wall'.[10]

Distribution and ecology

Lactuca muralis is a native of Europe but has invaded shady roadsides, paths and logged areas of the Pacific Northwest[11] and New England[12] It has become naturalized in parts of Northern Ireland as long ago as 1913.[13]

It can be found in woodlands, especially Beech.[7] It is also found in calcareous soils, and walls.
