Plantago gentianoides griffithii (Plantago gentianoides griffithii)

Description

The leaves are sessile, but have a narrow part near the stem which is a pseudo-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 5-40 cm (2.0-15.7 in) tall, and can be a short cone or a long spike, with numerous tiny wind-pollinated flowers.
