Abstract

The article reports 7 species of Taraxacum F. H. Wigg. new to Russia: T. atrox Kirschner et Štěpánek, T. bellum H. Øllg., T. crassum H. Øllg. et Trávn., T. gesticulans H. Øllg., T. melanostigma H. Lindb., T. praestabile Rail., and T. tanyphyllum Dahlst. All these taxa were recorded in North-West European Russia (within the Leningrad Region, the Pskov Region, the Novgorod Region, and the city of Saint-Petersburg), some of them occurring in neighboring regions as well. These taxa mostly belong to section Taraxacum, although some authors include T. melanostigma and T. atrox into closely related section Borea Sahlin ex A. J. Richards.
