Weber ex Wiggers Synonyms: Common names: blowball (English), common dandelion (English), dandelion (English), faceclock (English), pissenlit vulgaire (French) Organism type: herb Taraxacum officinale is one of the most wide-spread weeds of North America, Asia and Europe. On French sub-Antarctic islands, where Taraxacum officinale has been introduced, the disappearance of native plants over wide areas, due to the impact of rabbits and global warming, coincided with a demographic explosion of Taraxacum officinale and other introduced plants, resulting in the homogenisation of plant communities. Occurs in: agricultural areas, coastland, range/grasslands, ruderal/disturbed, urban areas Geographical range Native range : Eurasia. Known introduced range : The species has been introduced in many tropical and temperate countries.
