A taxonomic revision of Taraxacum sect. Borealia Hand.-Mazz. in Middle Asia and the Himalayas is presented. Ten species, mainly confined to relatively small mountain areas, are classified as members of this section in this region. All names that might pertain to sect. Borealia have been studied, and whenever possible, their type material was examined. Two new species are described: T. klimesianum from Ladakh, Jammu-Kashmir in India and T. cornucopiae from the Tian Shan in Kazakhstan. A preliminary world checklist of the section is provided.
