What is a pappus?
Pappus, in a composite flower, is the element of the individual disk and ray flowers that surrounds the flower structure, in the same manner at the base as calyx does in a non-compound flower. Pappuses may be like bristles, teeth or scales and are usually too diminutive to discern without some type of magnification device. The etymology of this name is that it derives from the Ancient Greek word pappos, Latin pappus, meaning old man, but also used for a plant - assumed to be an Erigeron species - having bristles, and also for the woolly, hairy seed of certain plants.

What is dandelion?
The species of Taraxacum are tap-rooted biennial or perennial herbaceous plants, native to temperate areas of the Old World.The leaves are 5-25 cm long or longer, simple and basal, entire or lobed, forming a rosette above the central taproot. The flower heads are yellow to orange colored, and are open in the daytime but closed at night. The heads are borne singly on a hollow stem (scape) that rises 1-10 cm or more[4] above the leaves and exudes a milky sap (latex) when broken. A rosette may produce several flowering stems at a time. The flower heads are 2-5 cm in diameter and consists entirely of ray florets. The flower heads mature into a spherical "clocks"[5] containing many single-seeded fruits called achenes. Each achene is attached to a pappus of fine hairs, which enable wind-aided dispersal over long distances.The flower head is surrounded by bracts (sometimes mistakenly called sepals) in two series. The inner bracts are erect until the seeds mature, then flex downward to allow the seeds to disperse; the outer bracts are always reflexed downward. Some species drop the "parachute" from the achenes; the hair-like parachutes are called pappus, and they are modified sepals. Between the pappus and the achene, there is a stalk called a beak, which elongates as the fruit matures. The beak breaks off from the achene quite easily, separating the seed from the parachute.
