Well, the purpose of that section is to explain the naming, not the real-world plants. Anyway, general cleanup.

The Seeding Dandelion is a [[plant]] in ''Pikmin 2'', ''Pikmin 3'', and ''Hey! Pikmin''. In the 3D games, it is even rarer than the [[Dandelion]], appearing only on the [[Perplexing Pool]] and the [[Sniper Room]]. If it's touched, some of its seeds detach and float away. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', it is much smaller, and Pikmin that touch it stop walking and jump in, until the player whistles them again. Seeds nearly identical to the ''Pikmin 2'' and ''Pikmin 3'' versions can also be seen in cutscenes.

==Naming==
==Naming==
The dandelion family’s name is fairly self explanatory. Dandelions in the real world are weeds with yellow flowers that eventually become puffy white balls of seeds. When blown by the wind, the dandelion seeds scatter, taking some fluff with them to act as a mini parachute. These two stages are shown with the Dandelion and Seeding Dandelion plants in Pikmin games respectively.
The dandelion family's name comes directly from its members, the Dandelion and the Seeding Dandelion.
