Dandelions are a huge part of the family Asteraceae. They can be tap-rooted biennial or perennial herbaceous plants. They are native to temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. There are a large amount of macrospecies of this plant. There have been 250 species recorded in the British Isles alone. The plant falls under the genus, Taraxacum. The name dandelion is derived from Old French, dent-de-lion. This literally means lion's tooth. This is due to the sharply lobed leaves of the plant. In modern French the plant is called pissenlit. This translates to 'urinate in bed'. The dandelion has diuretic properties which accounts for its modern french name. An English folkname for the plant is pissabeds.
