Taraxacum algarbiense is a species of dandelion endemic to the Monchique range in Portugal.[1][2] It belongs to sect. Celtica.[3]
Description[edit]
Taraxacum algarbiense is similar to Taraxacum triforme, and sometimes included in it,[3][4] but it differs in the length of the terminal lobe of the leaves. In T. algarviense, this lobe is 1/3 or less of the total length of the leaf, while in T. triforme it amounts to 1/2 to 2/3 of the leaf.[5] T. algarviense is also more glabrescent and has shorter scapes.[4]
Records of Taraxacum algarbiense from Serra da Estrela refer to Taraxacum estrelense, a larger species.[6]
Etymology[edit]
It is named after the Algarve, the region of Portugal where it grows.
