This species is distinguished from the following by its thicker, 

 shorter spike, its short, ovoid, obtuse capsules and ovate, obtuse, 

 scarious margined sepals, and its leaves often dull green and hairy-. 

 It is less common than the next species in our Flora, and has long 

 been confused with it everywhere. The var. minima, {P. minima. 

 DC.) occurs in cold, dry soils near Freeville, Summit Marsh and on 

 the higher hills.

 of Cham.) 



The commonest roadside and yard plantain. June-Sept. 



The spikes are longer than in P. Major, L., less dense, capsules 

 oblong-cylindrical and sepals oblong and acute. The leaves are 

 large, usually shining, bright green, the petioles often tinged 

 with purple. Dr. Gray regards P. Rugelii, Decaisne, as " truly in- 

 digenous, as no trace of it is found in the Old World." The spike 

 of this species is frequently fasciated at the summit.

 nized by its broadly oval, hairy leaves lying flat upon the turf, and 

 by its conspicuous, usually pale-purple stamens.
