Plantago camtschatica
is a perennial herb, 10-30cm in height, occurring in sandy soil or
craggy places in coastal areas. The whole is pubescent-hairy, with
leaves 5-20cm in length, 2.5-4.5cm in width, and blade bases
tapering to petioles. Scapes arise erect to reach 15-30cm in height
and make 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 cut themselves in 4, and four stamens pop out of them.
