'''''Plantago''''' is a [[genus]] of about 200 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Plantaginaceae]], commonly called '''plantains''' or '''fleaworts'''. The common name plantain is shared with the unrelated [[Plantain (cooking)|cooking plantain]]. Most are [[herbaceous plant]]s, though a few are [[subshrub]]s growing to {{convert|60|cm|in|abbr=off}} tall.
