Taraxacum latilobum
Also called Broad Lobed Dandelion, Broad Lobe Dandelion
Taraxacum latilobum is a wild dandelion from eastern North America, found in Maine, Newfoundland and Quebec, and grown mainly as a native wildflower or for study. It grows like other dandelions: a perennial rosette with a taproot, in open, sunny ground.
Taraxacum latilobum, also known as the large-lobed dandelion, is a species of dandelion found in eastern North America native to Maine, Newfoundland, and Quebec. The roots and leaves were part of the traditional plant foods of Canadian indigenous peoples.
Along with the St. Lawrence dandelion (Taraxacum laurentianum), Taraxacum latilobum has been found in the Mingan Archipelago, a biodiversity hotspot in Quebec.
