Plantago aucklandica is a unique flowering plant that is only found in the Auckland Islands. It stands out from other species in the Plantago family due to its large leaves, wide petioles, and long spikes with numerous flowers. It is also distinguished by its two ovules in each ovary and seeds with rounded protuberances on the ventral surface. This plant can be found in marshy areas, wind-blown areas, and rocky places at higher elevations on the Auckland Islands. It was first described in 1844 by Joseph Dalton Hooker and is named after the location where it was discovered. Due to its limited range and being an island endemic, it has been classified as "At Risk - Naturally Uncommon" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.
