Taraxacum litophyllum is a rare Spanish dandelion known only from a single 1970 specimen, collected in marshy streamside grassland in the Pyrenees. It is a perennial, so grow it like a moisture-loving dandelion in cool, damp conditions.
Taraxacum litophyllum is a species of dandelion in the family Asteraceae. The species is a perennial, and is native to Spain.
The only known specimen of the species was collected in Northern Spain in 1970, at an elevation of 1,200 metres. It was collected in a marshy grassland beside a stream, in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. The precise location from which the specimen was collected is unknown. The holotype is owned by the Meise Botanic Garden.
