Taraxacum officinale Weber ex F.H.Wigg.
COMMON DANDELION
**
Kirschner & Stepánek (2011) selected an uncited lectotype annotated by Linnaeus that is more congruent with the basionym protologue and current usage of T. officinale (T. sect. Taraxacum), as a previous incongruent lectotype selection is equated with the current sense of T. campylodes (T. sect. Crocea).
