POWO appears to be mistaken in placing Hieracium horridum in genus Pilosella. Hieracium horridum is endemic to western North America (California, Oregon, Nevada). All of the references I have been able to find online agree that Pilosella is an old world genus which is represented by several exotic and invasive species in North America.
Current regional floras covering the area where Hieracium horridum is found all agree on placing it in genus Hieracium. These floras do also place invasive species in genus Hieracium, but note that others consider them to be part of genus Pilosella.
