01Narrative

Taraxacum pankhurstianum, also known as the St Kilda dandelion, is a species of dandelion that was identified as new in 2012 after being cultivated at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh from seeds collected two years previously on the island of Hirta, the largest island in the St Kilda archipelago, on the western edge of Scotland. The species was named for Richard Pankhurst, a retired staff member at the garden who suggested that the seeds be collected. It was described in A. J. Richards & C. C. Ferguson-Smyth, New Journal of Botany 2(1): 16. 2012 [31 May 2012].
