Taraxacum
With the publication of Dudman and Richard’s Dandelions of Britain and Ireland
(1997) the nomenclature of this genus has been brought up to date, and some new
records are indicated on their maps. Because of the complexity of the genus, all the
species are listed as in the original Flora, with Stet. where no change to the name or
the distribution has been made.
