They happen to be delicious in salads, too!

My last post prompted another listserver to send me a correction to the dandelion comment (please see below). Thank you, Richard. I stand corrected. Perhaps Richard could also let us know how these maps are attributed (I forgot to ask).

Meanwhile, I'll take the opportunity to say that, despite their bad rep in some circles, dandelions also have a long-standing reputation as an important part of the herbalists medicine cabinet. But that's a discussion for the Medicinal Plant Working Group list!

Thanks, Patricia

Patricia:
The link which you sent to the lists reflects the typically outdated status of the USDA PLANTS site.
What is referred to there as Taraxacum officinale ssp. ceratophorum is now considered a separate native species (T. ceratophorum).
Please note the attached distribution maps.
