Taraxacum gorodkovii Kharkevich & Tzvelev (1978: 841) View in CoL

Type:—[ RUSSIA, Kamchatka Region] Dal’nyy Vostok, bass. r. Penzhiny , verkh. techenie r. Pal’matkinoy , Pontsekeiskiy khrebet, bereg ruch’ya [the northernmost Kamchatka, Penzhina River basin, Pontsekei Range, bank of a brook], 18 Aug 1932, B. N. Gorodkov & B. A. Tikhomirov ( LE, no. det. 6090, holotype; istotype: LE, no. det. 6091) .

Almost all the features of the original material of T. gorodkovii point to T. sect. Arctica; the only aberrant character is the relatively densely shortly spinulose and tuberculate achene body, subabruptly narrowing in a subconical cone. We treat this species as a member of the latter section, relatively close to T. semitubulosum Yurtzev (see also Kirschner et al. 2022b).
