|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Plantago major</i> and <i>P. rugelii</i> are morphologically indistinguishable when young; they may be differentiated with certainty only at fruiting stage. DNA sequence data (A. Shipunov et al. 2014) confirm that the two species are distinct: <i>P. rugelii</i> is different from <i>P. major</i> by 11 substitutions in the ITS2 sequence.</p>
