Abstract

Plantago lanceolata L. is recently found naturalized in the central and northern parts of Taiwan. It is easily distinguished from other Taiwanese Plantago by its densely clustered flowers in a short-cylindric spike. The distribution, a detail line drawing, along with some taxonomic notes and a key for the species of Taiwan are given.
