Habit Foliage Flowers Seed heads
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) foliage is 6 to 12 inches long,
about 1 inch wide at its widest point, and deeply lobed. I have read
several texts which state dandelion foliage to be slightly pubescent, however,
my own close examination of the weed fails to find any pubescence on the
foliage.
Due to deep lobes, foliage appears similar to the teeth on a pruning saw,
with the tips of the teeth arching back towards the center of the plant.
