The most curious entry so far in this crap encyclopedia, after searching on
"Hawkwind", this popped up:
---------------------------------------------------------
Hawkweed, a genus of perennial plants Hieracium of the family Compositae
with loosely clustered yellow, orange, or white flower heads and oblong
toothed leaves that grow from roots in rosette; troublesome weed in some
places; an old superstition stated that hawks used the sap to sharpen their
eyesight.

composite family, usually with conspicuous basal leaves and stalked
clusters of heads with yellow or scarlet ray flowers, including devil's
paintbrush
