The common name Dandelion is given to species of the genus Taraxacum, a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Dandelions are grown commercially on a small scale as a leaf vegetable. The English name dandelion is a corruption of the French dent de lion, meaning lion's tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. The names of the plant have the same meaning in several other European languages, such as Italian dente di leone, Spanish diente de león, Portuguese dente-de-leão, Norwegian Løvetann, and German Löwenzahn.
