Heart-Leaved
Plantain, Plantago
cordata
The heart-leaved
plaintain is a semi-aquatic perennial, which occurs individually or in
loose clusters. It has very
unique heart-shaped leaves, which are noticeable only in the summer.
The leaf shape transforms morphologically due to the seasonal
change from spatulate to shape. This plantain is in a great decline in Indiana.
It is found in rocky terrain, clear streams, springs, and moist
depressions in deciduous forests and in freshwater tidal flats.
This plant is very sensitive to water quality changes due to
pollution.
