A green man is a special kind of seventh son that is connected to "growing things." Henry, for example, is connected to the dandelion, Monmouth is connected to the aspen tree,[1] Mordecai is connected to the grape vine, and Darius is connected to the mushroom.
Green men have a mark on their right palm that can be seen only with the second sight. This mark shows what sort of "green thing" they are connected to.
The dandelion is an especially powerful thing to be connected to. It is very rare, although a cousin of Ron also had the dandelion mark. [2]
