Discussion

Subspecies 2 (2 in the flora).

Leontodon saxatilis 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 L. hispidus.

Leontodon taraxacoides (Villars) Willdenow ex Mérat de Vaumartoise (1831), long used for this species, is a later homonym of L. taraxacoides Hoppe & Hornschuch (1821).

Selected References

None.
