Taraxacum akteum
Taraxacum akteum, also known as the Hampshire dandelion, is a perennial species of dandelion native to Western Europe, where it primarily grows in temperate biomes. First formally described in 1974 in Acta Botanica Neerlandica from specimens collected in slightly brackish meadows in the Netherlands, particularly in Doornspijk and Rozenburg, by Hagendorn, Soest, and Zevenbergen, the species belongs to the Taraxacum section Celtica s.l. and occurs exclusively in Great Britain and coastal areas of the Netherlands.
