Description
Summary:•Plantago australis produces both chasmogamous and cleistogamous flowers.•We hypothesise that the species is ambophilic.•We base our claims on field work, herbarium and literature-based evidence. Plantago australis is considered to be obligately cleistogamous. Here we present evidence based on field work, herbarium collections and literature to show that this species produces both chasmogamous and cleistogamous flowers. We also hypothesise that the species is ambophilic.
