Heart-leaved Plantain

Plantago cordata

The heart-leaved plantain is a perennial herb which begins to flower in mid-April. The Canadian distribution is limited to two populations in southern Ontario. It is often found close to limestone quarries and gravel pits. Habitat destruction is the main threat to the species and no recovery plan exists.
