|discussion=<p>This small dandelion has only recently been reported from North America (D. F. Brunton 1989). It has now spread east into Quebec, where it is known beyond the Montreal area, west into Michigan, and south into northern New York state. It is mostly spreading in wet ditches along highways and flowers in early spring.</p><!--
--><p>It clearly belongs to sect. Palustria. Until it is firmly associated with a European species, I am using the name <i>Taraxacum palustre</i>. The name T. cognatum Štepánek & Kirschner, which designates a microspecies from central Europe, has been applied to a North American specimen sent by D. F. Brunton to J. Kirschner.</p>
