Plantaginaceae, Plantago tenuiflora, SpainAbstract
This article reports for the first time on Plantago tenuiflora from the Iberian Peninsula, discusses aspects of its habitat and highlights the important disjunction that our finding represents in relation to the species’ known range. Taking into account that the species was not included in the treatment of the genus in Flora iberica, we present an adaptation of the identification key and a description of Plantago tenuiflora based on the Iberian material.
