Turlough dandelion / Marsh dandelion A member of the Taraxacum sect. Palustria. The yellow flowers are very similar to those of the common Dandelion but the leaves are very narrow and linear, scarcely or not lobed. Distinctive red stalks. Bracts are ovate, adpressed and have a broad pale (scarious) border. Rare, found on damp ground near fens and turloughs. Most Irish records are from Co. Clare and Co. Galway.
