Este originară din India. Face parte din familia Compositae, genul Lactuca.
Este o plantă anuală, autogamă, cu rădăcină pivotantă, scurtă și ramificată, frunze în rozetă și desfășurate la început, tulpină cilindrică ramificată, flori galbene dispuse în ciorchini sau corimbi și semințe asemănătoare pufului.
Cultivarea păpădiei s-a dezvoltat în ultimii ani, datorită diversificării soiurilor și comercializării curățate și ambalate pentru consum. Principalii producători sunt China, SUA și Spania.
