Plantago coronopus (Plantaginaceae) 3:560

  

Plantago coronopus is a very common introduced rosette herb with a taproot. It is widespread, and is especially common on coasts and near roads. The leaves are usually lobed (sometimes deeply so), are usually lightly hairy on both surfaces, and are held more-or-less flat to  the ground. They have short petioles and distinct midrib, but not the parallel veins typical of many other Plantago species. They may range from 2-20cm long.
