Plantago erosa Wall. (synonym) ??
To me appears close to your images at Plantago asiatica subsp. erosa Plantago asiatica subsp. erosa (Wallich) Z. Y. Li (accepted name)
Plantago erosa Wall. (synonym) I have been looking at our Plantago species here and finding it very difficult to identify with great certainty. First, to differentiate P. asiatica from P. major is a challenge. The flower stalk is absent on major but should be there on asiatica. However, the stalk is very short and difficult to see. Chromosome count is different but that is beyond my scope to check. According to Tibetan Medicinal Plants ‘typical P. erosa is characterised by a loose spike and irregularly, jaggedly toothed leaves which are hairy (especially when young)’. From your photos I can see that the shape of leaves fits the description but I cannot tell if they are hairy (small tufts of hairs on the teeth of some leaves are visible but I cannot see anything more. There are no young leaves). The spike doesn’t appear loose to me and I cannot tell whether the sepal keel is continuous. I will keep these plants broadly under Plantago major for the time being. The authors go on to say that all samples collected by them in the Muktinath Valley were typical P. major and not P. erosa. They suspect that P. erosa might grow in lower altitudes.
Experts are guarded in determining the species using the macroscopic characters only. Their language is guarded and they emphasise on the difficulties in distinguishing the species, subspecies and varieties in the field.
I wish I could be of more help.
Plantago erosa Wall.?? : 5 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2) May I repeat a plea to take not just images of ‘flowers’ but also the foliage, as this can make a big difference in tracking down the identity of a plant.
Please do not just take 1-3 photos of the flowers even if they are quite good close-ups but also habitat, habit and foliage (both upper and basal, ideally with the undersides of the leaves shown as well).
Having said that. These do appear to be a Plantago. Not many are recorded for Nepal. Of those P.erosa is the only one with records from lower elevations – down to 900m (through to 4100m). All the specimens thought to be P.major from Nepal have turned out to be P.erosa. So it does seem likely that this is the species photographed. Keeping it as Plantago major for the time being as per Plantago asiatica subsp. erosa (Wallich) Z. Y. Li (accepted name) ?? OK …!

https://dineshvalke.blogspot.com/2024/04/plantago-major-l.html Kerala plants site mentioned it’s Malayalam names as Nilachakka നിലചക്ക (nilam means land and chakka means jackfruit but I think the name is derived of it’s rosette leaves) Njaramboori ഞരമ്പൂരി (njarambu means vein and oori means loosing, but I think this name is related to it’s medicinal value). I am also documented this plant (white variant) from Munnar region. Thank you for ID. Syn. Plantago major
Many many thanks, …, for the appreciation, and for pointing to Kerala Plants site for Malayalam names of Plantago major. While compiling names of Plantago major L. … I found that the Floras of peninsular India have included Plantago major auct. non L. … a synonym of some other distinct Plantago. often of Plantago asiatica L.
Plantago major in Kerala plants is Plantago major sensu Hook. f., Fl. Brit. India 4: 705. 1885 p.p., non L. 1753;
synonym of Plantago erosa Wall. … which is considered as synonym of Plantago asiatica subsp. erosa (Wall.) Z.Yu Li
Thus, these names നിലചക്ക nilachakka and രമ്പൂരി njaramboori refer to another Plantago major.
