Plantago Atrata
''Plantago'' is a genus of about 200 species of flowering plants in the family Plantaginaceae, commonly called plantains or fleaworts. The common name plantain is shared with the unrelated cooking plantain. Most are herbaceous plants, though a few are subshrubs growing to tall. Description The leaves are sessile or have a poorly defined petiole. They have three or five parallel veins that diverge in the wider part of the leaf. Leaves are broad or narrow, depending on the species. The inflorescences are borne on stalks typically tall, and can be a short cone or a long spike, with numerous tiny wind-pollinated flowers. Species The boundaries of the genus ''Plantago'' have been fairly stable, with the main question being whether to include '' Bougueria'' (one species from the Andes) and '' Littorella'' (2–3 species of aquatic plants).Albach, D.

Plantago Major
''Plantago major'', the broadleaf plantain, white man's footprint, waybread, or greater plantain, is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae. The plant is native to Eurasia. The young, tender leaves can be eaten raw, and the older, stringier leaves can be boiled in stews and eaten.

Each leaf is oval-shaped, long and broad, rarely up to long and broad, with an acute apex, a smooth margin, and a distinct petiole almost as long as the leaf itself. There are five to nine conspicuous veins over the length of the leaf. The flowers are small, greenish-brown with purple stamens, produced in a dense spike long on top of a stem tall and rarely to tall. Plantain is wind-pollinated and propagates primarily by seeds, which are held on the long, narrow spikes which rise well ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plantago Aucklandica
''Plantago aucklandica'' is a flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae that is endemic to the Auckland Islands. Description ''Plantago aucklandica'' differs from all other species of ''Plantago'' that are indigenous to New Zealand by its large leaves with up to seven veins, axillary hairs, wide petioles, and long spikes with up to 132 flowers. It has only two ovules (one of which aborts) in each ovary, and its seeds have low rounded protuberances on the ventral surface, whereas all other New Zealand native species have seeds with a networked ventral surface. Habitat It is found only at the higher elevations of the Auckland Islands where it grows in marshy places, on bare wind-blown areas and in rocky places. Taxonomy & naming It was first described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1844, from specimens he had collected in the Auckland Islands "on the mountain ridges at an altitude of 1000-1200 feet, in a peaty soil" while serving on the Ross expedition in the Antarctic The speci ...
