Plantago camtschatica / Ezooobako エゾオオバコ

 
Plantago camtschatica is a perennial herb that grows to 10-30cm tall and is found in sandy soils or on craggy coastal areas. The whole is pubescent-hairy, with leaves 5-20cm long, 2.5-4.5cm wide, and blade bases tapering to petioles. Scapes arise erect, reaching 15-30cm in height, and produce 3-10cm long spikes with dense, small flowers. Bracts are oval, with no hairs, shorter than calyxes, the calyxes being in an oblong shape, 2-2.5cm long, with no coats, and mid-ribs are green. Corollas are cut into four, and four stamens emerge from them. Bloom time: May-August.
