Plantago Maritima Var. Integralis

Sea plantain, scientifically known as Plantago maritima var. integralis, is a hardy, coastal plant that thrives in saltwater environments. It is commonly found along shorelines, tidal flats, and sandy beaches where it withstands harsh conditions. This variant of the common plantain is distinguished by its broad, fleshy leaves that help it retain moisture in arid or saline soils. Its adaptability makes it an important component of coastal ecosystems. Despite its tough appearance, it plays a vital role in stabilizing dunes and supporting local wildlife.
