|discussion=<p><i>Plantago maritima</i> has been reported from Utah; no specimen supporting that report has been found.</p><!--
--><p>Since the 1930s, when <i>Plantago maritima</i> was shown to have high levels of phenotypic plasticity (J. W. Gregor and J. M. S. Lang 1950), it usually has been accepted in a broad sense. That approach is followed here, with all dwarf and loose-flowered forms (such as <i>P. borealis</i> and P. decipiens, respectively) included under this name.</p>
