Plantago coronopus, the buck's-horn plantain,[2] is a herbaceous annual to perennial flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae.

[3] Plantago coronopus produces a basal rosette of narrowly lance-shaped leaves up to 25 centimeters long that are toothed or deeply divided.

Plantago coronopus mainly grows on sandy or gravelly soils close to the sea, but also on salt-treated roadsides.

[4] It is native to Eurasia and North Africa but it can be found elsewhere, including the United States, Australia, and New Zealand as an introduced species.

Recently it has become popular as a frost-hardy winter crop for farmers in northern climates, and is usually grown in unheated hightunnels.
