Botanical Description

Taraxacum suecicum is a Northern European dandelion microspecies of the family Asteraceae, belonging to the apomictic Taraxacum officinale aggregate (section Taraxacum / Ruderalia). Like other members of the aggregate it is a rosette-forming perennial herb with a stout taproot, deeply runcinate (lobed) basal leaves, and solitary yellow ligulate flower heads borne on hollow, leafless scapes that exude white latex. The single-headed scapes mature into the familiar globose "clock" of plumed achenes dispersed by wind.
