--><p><i>Leontodon saxatilis</i> is widely introduced in North America. It is identified by heads borne singly, ebracteate peduncles, glabrous or hairy leaves, and mixed pappi. Some individuals are coarsely hirsute and easily confused with <i>L. hispidus</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Leontodon</i> taraxacoides (Villars) Willdenow ex Mérat de Vaumartoise (1831), long used for this species, is a later homonym of L. taraxacoides Hoppe & Hornschuch (1821).</p>
