<p class='Paragraph'>Taxonomic and geographic novelties in the genus Plantago (Plantaginaceae) in Chile, including the description of a new species

We present taxonomic and geographic novelties in the genus Plantago from Chile. More specifically, we describe P. nebularis , a new species endemic to Cerro Moreno, Antofagasta region, and propose P. zoellneriana , a new name for P. sericea subsp. araucana . We also lectotypify the name P. sericea , expand the recorded distribution of P. lanceolata and P. pachyneura to the Tarapaca region, and argue that the narrowly endemic species P. johnstonii , known only from the type which was collected in Taltal, Antofagasta region, is likely extinct.
