| Plantago
lanceolata (Ribwort) is a very common and widespread weed
species that grows in almost all inhabited parts of Tasmania. The
distinctive feature is that the inflorescence stalk (the peduncle)
is ribbed. The plant has hairy leaves that are held above the
ground, but all arise in a rosette. The leaves are 7-20cm long, 1-4
cm wide, have about 5 main veins and are on long petioles (3-15 cm
long). The flowers are in a dense spike.
