Dandelion

Dandelions are somewhat rare plants in Pikmin 2 only apearing in three spots. These don't effect gameplay, like a lot of other plants. There is also Seeding Dandelions, which are even more rare. This is one of the few Pikmin species that it's named after it's real world counterpart

Olimar's Notes
"This perennial grows best in locations with full sun exposure. Its flowers boast countless tiny yellow petals packed together in a head. The species seems to have as many weedlike variants as petals, so more detailed research on these plants would best be left to a botanical research specialist."

Louie's Notes
"Young leaves are only suitable in garden salads. Use the flower to add color to your dishes."
