Dandelion

Taraxacum

Description:

Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae and consists of species commonly known as dandelion. They have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret. Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Habitat:

The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted, perennial, herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. They are native to Eurasia and North America.
