Latin Name:  Taraxacum laevigatum
Family:  Compositae
Author:  (Willd.)DC.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.2   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Dry pastures on sandy or calcareous soils, heaths, waste ground, walls etc[17].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a well-drained humus-rich soil in full sun or light shade. Many species in this genus produce their seed apomictically. This is an asexual method of seed production where each seed is genetically identical to the parent plant. Occasionally seed is produced sexually, the resulting seedlings are somewhat different to the parent plants and if these plants are sufficiently distinct from the parents and then produce apomictic seedlings these seedlings are, in theory at least, a new species.
