Vintage Medicinal Herb Dandelion Flower Botanical Notebook

Capture the charm of yesterday with Charmed Life's vintage herbal art notebooks featuring German lithographs of medicinal plants and herbs from Franz Eugen Köhler’s "Medizinal-Pflanzen" or "Medicinal Plants" published in 1887. Taraxacum is a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, which consists of species commonly known as dandelions. They are native to Eurasia and North America, but the two commonplace species worldwide, T. officinale and T. erythrospermum, were introduced from Europe and now propagate as wildflowers. Both species are edible in their entirety. The common name dandelion is given to members of the genus. Like other members of the Asteraceae family, they have very small flowers collected together into a composite flower head. Each single flower in a head is called a floret.
