Abstract

Taraxacum sectum is described as a new member of T. sect. Erythrosperma from the Baltic island of Öland, Sweden, where it has been found at ca 15 sites in alvar habitats as well as in somewhat disturbed dry and sandy grasslands. The new species is similar to T. saphycraspedum, T. marginatum and T. taeniatum but differs from all of these by a combination of characters: pale greenish yellow styles, ± vertically erect leaves, strongly recurved outer phyllaries, hairy scapes and conspicuously light grayish hairy basal parts.
