Abstract

We reported that an alien species of Plantaginaceae, Plantago aristata Michx. from North America, grows at the Han-River estuary in Go-Yang City, Kyunggi Province. This species is easily distinguished from others in Korea by its linear leaves, cylindrical spikes with long linear bracts at base, and relatively large flowers of ca. 4-6 mm in diameter. We called the species as gin-po-ggot-jil-kyung-i as a local name. Plantago aristata is known to be very invasive and has been already introduced to Japan and China.

절경이과의 Plantago aristata Michx.(국명신칭: 긴포꽃질경이)가 경기도 고양시 한강하구에 자라고 있는 것으로 처음 확인되었다. 이 귀화식물은 선형인 잎(길이 9-20 cm, 폭 5-8 mm), 긴 선형의 포(길이 약 2.5 cm), 큰 흰꽃(직경 4-6 mm)으로 다른 한반도 질경이속 식물들과 구별된다. 북미 원산인 본 종은 인근 국가인 일본과 중국에도 유입되어 퍼져나가고 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 확증표본은 서울대학교 석엽표본관(SNU)에 소장하였다.
