Plantago erecta, in the plantain family, is known variously as California plantain, foothill plantain, dot-seed plantain, English plantain, and dwarf plantain.
The plant is a small, unassuming annual herb with needle-like leaves and translucent flowers clustered on a stalk. It grows in sandy, clay, or serpentine soils, on grassy slopes and flats or open woodland, found in Baja California, California and Oregon.
Plantago erecta is a host species for the Edith's checkerspot butterfly.
