Plantago bellidioides (Plantaginaceae) 3:561

 


Plantago bellidioides (herbfield plantain) is a native rosette herb that sometimes develops a taproot. It grows in sandy places near the east, north-west and west coasts. The leaves are more or less entire, have septate (i.e. divided into a series of cells) hairs on both surfaces and are held flat to  the ground. They have petioles about as long as the blade (2-4 cm long) and 3-5 obvious longitudinal veins.
