Global description
Plantago lanceolata is an herbaceous plant, with long leaves in dense rosette at the base. The plant has a vigorous taproot. The leaves are yellowish green. They are narrow, lance-shaped. The lamina, slightly hairy, is covered with almost parallel veins, very conspicuous. The first leaves have most of the time an entire border, which discreetly cut into small tines for the following. The flowers are grouped in cylindrical spike at the end of a long vertical peduncle, brownish exceeding the rosette leaves. From these spikes emerge long yellowish stamens.Attributions | Wiktrop |
