Peehkateeki most likely refers to Nothocalais cuspidata, once called prairie dandelion (Steyermark 1963), now called prairie false dandelion. It is less likely, but it could also refer to one or more of the following species: Taraxacum officinale or one of a number of prairie dwelling dandelion species, including the dwarf dandelion, Krigia dandelion, or Krigia virginica, or possibly another of the false dandelions: Agoseris glauca or Pyrrhopappus carolinianus.
