Of this species I have collected a couple of specimens in grass-grown places on an 

 islet in the Yenisei, between Minusinsk and Ust Abakansk. Tlie specimens taken do not 

 agree perfectly with any of the forms of this species descrijjed heretofore, one being a 

 foi'm which seemed to be allied to Taraxacum privum D.vuLsr., the other a form allied 

 to Taraxaciim haemalopus Lindu, Owing to the scarcity of the material, new forms 

 based upon it, cannot be described. In flower and with young fruits al the beginning of 

 June. 



Distribution: The species extends over Europe and Asia, except tlie most northern 

 regions. Gradually strayed nearly all over the globe.
