Taraxacum officinale
Note that a type does not determine the circumscription of the taxon. For example, the common dandelion is a controversial taxon: some botanists consider it to consist of over a hundred species, and others regard it as a single species. The type of the name "Taraxacum officinale" is the same whether the circumscription of the species includes all those small species ("Taraxacum officinale" is a "big" species) or whether the circumscription is limited to only one small species among the other hundred ("Taraxacum officinale" is a "small" species). The name "Taraxacum officinale" is the same and the type of the name is the same, but the extent of what the name actually applies to varies greatly. Setting the circumscription of a taxon is done by a taxonomist in a publication.
