Steve’s Monstrous Plantain

Steve Terry found this by the roadside at Dunan:

Montrous Plantago maritima

Montrous Plantago maritima

The inflorescences have been replaced by whorls of leaves. I haven’t had time to research this yet but many years ago I had  a malformed Plantago lanceolata that I sent to someone in Dublin who had a special interest in such things. Must try to check back and see whether he is still active.
