Taraxacum Simile F. Acutum

Taraxacum simile f. acutum is a lesser-known variant of the common dandelion, distinguished by its sharp, pointed leaves. This plant thrives in disturbed soils and sunny areas, often found in gardens and roadside verges. Its flowers, while similar to those of the standard dandelion, tend to be more compact and shorter in stature. The species is valued for its resilience and ability to flourish in challenging environments. Despite its modest appearance, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and soil health.
