Dandelion Model (Taraxum officinale) Model

Dandelion (Taraxum officinale)Model, Item Details:

Enlarged 10 - 20x life-size, 3 individual models
Family: Asteraceae

Dandelion belongs to the Asteraceae family of composite flowers. Characterized by numerous florets arranged in a dense inflorescence that is contained by overlapping green bracts that open and close to protect the flower.

The word dandelion refers to the large tooth-like indentations on the plant's leaves and the bright yellow color of its flower head.

The taproot, which can extend as much as 2 meters in depth, can be roasted in the fall and used as a substitute for coffee. Historically it was a precursor to hops used as a bittering agent in beer.

Manual

The leaves are edible, though especially tasty in the spring. The milky sap of dandelions was used to:
  • purify the blood
  • cure stomach ailments
  • treat gall bladder and liver disorders

    The Dandelion model contains three separate models, each on their own base:
  • The inflorescence is enlarged 10 times life-size. It contains up to 200 florets in its tight bracts.
  • The florets has five lobes and are magnified to 20 times life-size.
  • Through an intricate process of fertilization, the seed begins to mature. Shown at 20 times life-size the seed ripens and the beak grows to three or four times its length. When it opens, the Dandelion's characteristic puff ball allows dissemination of its seeds by wind.
