I have been looking at our <\/span>Plantago<\/i> species here and finding it very difficult to identify with great certainty. First, to differentiate <\/span>P. asiatica<\/i> from <\/span>P. major<\/i> is a challenge. <\/span>The flower stalk is absent on major<\/i> <\/span>but should be there on asiatica<\/i><\/span>. <\/span>However, the stalk is very short and difficult to see.<\/span> Chromosome count is different but that is beyond my scope to check.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
According to Tibetan Medicinal Plants<\/i> ‘typical P. erosa<\/i> is characterised by a loose spike and irregularly, jaggedly toothed leaves which are hairy (especially when young)’.<\/span> 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<\/i> for the time being<\/span>. The authors go on to say that all samples collected by them in the Muktinath Valley were typical P. major<\/i> and not P. erosa<\/i>. They suspect that P. erosa<\/i> might grow in lower altitudes.<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
I wish I could be of more help.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
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.<\/div>\n
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).
\nHaving said that.\u00a0These do appear to be a <\/span>Plantago<\/i>.\u00a0 Not many are recorded for Nepal.\u00a0 Of those <\/span>P.erosa<\/i> is the only one with records from lower elevations – down to 900m (through to 4100m).\u00a0 All the specimens thought to be <\/span>P.major<\/i> from Nepal have turned out\u00a0 to be <\/span>P.erosa<\/i>.\u00a0 So it does seem likely that this is the species photographed.<\/span><\/div>\n
