Description: Two photographs of the Common Dandelion and its description.
Taxonomic note: Dandelions are apomictic with hundreds of microspecies.  Originally I divided the genus into four sections (each containing a large number of microspecies) based on those in Clapham Tutin and Warburg 1962.  But these seem to have been largely abandoned and the BSBI only accepts records of named microspecies or of the genus as a whole (as Taraxacum agg), with nothing in between.  Apart from a handful of experts therefore, everyone (including myself) records all dandelions as Taraxacum agg.
