Once known by its French name Dent de Lion or Dens Leonis in Latin, this persistent lawn plant which was once regarded as an annoying weed has become more popular during the modern times as Dandelion. The leaves are shiny and shaped like great jagged teeth, giving it a fanciful resemblance to the teeth of a lion. Through the ages, it has recovered from its negative reputation when it was discovered as an effective and beneficial herbal additive that may help ease anemia, constipation, and rheumatism.
