蒲公英HERBA TARAXACI

This plant appears as a wrinkled, curled mass. The roots are conical, often curved, and 3-7 cm long; the surface is brown and wrinkled; the root head has brown or yellowish-white hairs, some of which have already fallen off. The leaves are basal, often wrinkled and broken. The intact leaves are oblanceolate, green-brown or dark gray, with a pointed or blunt tip, shallowly lobed or pinnate margins, gradually narrowing at the base and extending downward into a petiole. The main vein on the lower surface is distinct. There are one to several flower stems, each with a terminal head inflorescence. The bracts are multi-layered, with the inner layer being longer. The corolla is yellow-brown or pale yellow-white. In some cases, many oblong achenes with white pappus can be seen. The odor is faint and the taste is slightly bitter.
