Taraxacum serotinum

Description:

2012-08-13 Vienna, district X./ Lower Austria, district Wien-UmgebungGerman name: Lss-Lwenzahn (fruchtend)Very typical for this species are the great number of flowering (and fruiting) stems, while "ordinary" T. officinale (agg.) only grows one stem per rosetta. Also, rosetta leaves of this one are quite distinct and easily recognisable.This habitat here is the southerly exposed side of S1 motorway, it has been seeded by biologist Mr Biskup with seeds of dry meadow plants from local production - so even though this is not quite a natural occurrence it is almost so.
