Taraxacum hybernum, also known as krim-saghyz, or Autumn dandelion, is a perennial species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.[2][3] In dry spring it produces only a rosette of leaves. In the wild, it blooms in spring or autumn, depending on moisture conditions, as a cultivated plant it has been reported to have two flowerings in one season.[4]
Distribution
Taraxacum hybernum is commonly found in Southern Europe, the Balkans, Crimea, and Turkey.[5]
Uses
It has been researched in the Soviet Union as a source of latex for rubber production, with "very good results" and 800ha worth of plantations in both North Caucasus and South Caucasus (as of 1934).[4]
