Plantain - Plantaginaceae (Taxonomy, Characteristics, Distribution, Images)

Plantain

Plantain belongs to a broad family of plants primarily characterized by their rosette-like structure and prominent ribbed leaves. These leaves usually grow close to the ground, making them easily recognizable. Adapted to survive in a range of environments, plantain uses its dense foliage to outcompete other ground-level flora, thriving particularly well in disturbed soils often found in urban or heavily grazed areas.
