Pflanze von mittlerer Große, wohl einjahrig, ohne Rhizomentwicklung. Die Zahnung des Blattrandes 1st sehr verschieden ausgepragt, es konnen wenige starke, unregelmaßige, nach aufwarts gerichtete Zahne vorhanden sein, oder es wechselt schwache Zalmelung mit einzelnen starkeren zackigen Zahnen ab oder der gauze Rand ist nur unregelmaßig schwach gezahnt. Die Ahre kann bis zur Spitze hinauf sehr locker sein, wobei besonders im unteren Teil Einzelblüten oder kleine Gruppen von 2-3 Blüten dureh langere Zwischenraume getrennt sind, oder sie ist (auch im alteren Stadium) nach oben zu dichter, nach unten zu sehr locker. An einzelnen Exemplaren sind stets, soweit untersucht, zwei Samenanlagen und Samen vorhanden, an anderen 3 oder auch 2. From: Pilger, RKF. 1937. Plantaginaceae. In: A Engler & L Diels (eds).
