Plants of the genus are known generally as dwarf dandelions[2] or dwarfdandelions.
They are annual or perennial herbs growing from a fibrous root system or a taproot.
The blades are often linear to lance-shaped, toothed or lobed, and borne on winged petioles.
The flower heads are solitary, growing at the top of the stem or on stalks from the leaf axils.
