Plantago unibracteata is a small perennial plantain rosette native to New Zealand's mountains and damp grasslands, grown mainly by botanists and native plant enthusiasts. It needs cool, moist conditions and open, sunny spots rather than heat or drought.
Plantago unibracteata is a species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae that is endemic to New Zealand. Knud Rahn gave the species its current name in 1996, based on Joseph Dalton Hooker's original description (as P. uniflora) in 1854. Plants of this species of plantain are perennial with a rosette habit, with narrowly angular-ovate leaves with few (less than 10) teeth, and numerous angular or rounded seeds.
Plantago unibracteata is a plantain that is endemic to the North, South and Stewart Islands of New Zealand. In the North Island it is found in Volcanic Plateau, Taranaki, and Southern North Island regions, whereas on the South Island it is found in Western Nelson, Westland, Canterbury, Otago and Fiordland Southland regions.
