    Abstract

    Plantago section Maritima comprises a group of Mediterranean narrow-leaved plantains whose taxonomy is still poorly resolved. A nomenclatural and taxonomic study of some relevant names within this group is presented. The names Plantago acanthophylla, Plantago holosteum, Plantago holosteum f. vestita, Plantago penyalarensis, Plantago radicata, Plantago subulata f. grovesii (often referred to in recent literature as ‘Plantago grovesii Brullo’, an invalid name) and Plantago wulfenii are critically treated here. All these names are synonymized under P. subulata, with the exception of P. penyalarensis, which is a synonym of Plantago alpina.
