[1] It has become naturalized in scattered locations in the United Kingdom, North America, and Oceania.

taraxacifolia reaches 4 ft (120 cm) in height, with each of many branches producing yellow, dandelion-like flower heads at the tips.

The inner phyllaries are longer and pointed, and often curl back away from the flower head.
