Dandelion

A plant (Taraxacum officinale) that is considered one of the bitter herbs. Dandelions are common flowering plants with bright yellow flowers that turn into fluffy seed heads. The leaves have a jagged, tooth-like shape (the name "dandelion" comes from the French dent de lion meaning "lion's tooth").

See Bitter Herbs.
