  • Question

    Hello, Arthur. Betty B. Wright and I found this plant ant Arthur Burns Wildlife Management Area, Newbury (great spot for biodiversity), growing in the roadbed. We identified similar Bracted Plantain nearby. Is this just a stunted form of Bracted, another undocumented species, or some other kind of plant? The third image is the one we ID'd as Bracted Plantain.

    Answer

    chaffeemonell, yes, all those images look like Plantago aristata to me. They vary in the size of the inflorescence. Best wishes.
