Description:Annual, biennial, sometimes perennial plants. Root system rachiform. Leaves usually oblong-elliptical to lanceolate, mostly glabrous, thin, with (3) 5-7 veins, margin entire or indistinct dentate, (1) 2-10 x (0.5) 1-3.5 cm, at base cuneate and gradually turning into petiole, petioles 1/5-1/2 (1) as long as blade.

Habit (i)general appearance of a plant

example: Artemisia pectinata
inherited by family Plantaginaceae: herb
Special growth forms or habits:rosette plant (i)All or nearly all leaves in a basal rosette, only inflorescences on erect stalks, these without or with much smaller leaves
example: Primula farinosa
inherited by family Plantaginaceae: rosette plant
Parasite status: (i)Is the plant a half- or full parasite?no parasite/saprophyte (i)Plant fully autonomous, leaves with chlorophyll

inherited by family Plantaginaceae: basal rosette
Simple or divided leaves: (i)Are the leaves simple or completely divided in several parts? Blade of the leaf entire or (more or less) deeply dissected. Attention: There are various appearances of the leaf margin (from entire to toothed and lobed). Here, we ignore this and ask only for dissections that separate the leaf for more than one third of its length or width, whatever is smaller. Sometimes, it is difficult to tell apart compound leaves from a shoot system with simple leaves: look for stipulae and/or axillary buds at the ground of the leaves: if only some possess these structures, the others are most likely leaflets of a compound leaf.simple (i)Non-divided leaf, but margin may be incised nearly to the ground inherited by family Plantaginaceae: simple inherited by genus Plantago: simple
