Taraxacum tamarae Kharkevich & Tzvelev (1978: 839) View in CoL

Type:—[ RUSSIA, Kamchatka] Koryak. nats. okr., Olyutorskiy raion, o-v Verkhoturova , na vykhodakh vulkanicheskikh porod [Koryak National Okrug, Verkhoturov Island, on outcrops of volcanic rocks], 28 Jul 1975, S. Kharkevich & T. Buch ( LE, no. det. 6058, holotype) .

The leaf shape, similar to that of T. taimyrense , and occasionally corniculate outer phyllaries was the main argument in favour of the idea of T. tamarae as a member of T. sect. Ceratophora in Kharkevich & Tzvelev (1978). However, the achene and outer phyllary characters point unequivocally to T. sect. Arctica (see also Kirschner et al. 2022b).
