Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel
To borrow a phrase: your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to solve a small mystery. Try using a search engine to discover the distribution of seaside plantain (or goose-tongue) – I'll almost guarantee that if you visit three different web sites, you'll get at least two different answers.

From Jepson, Flora of California:
http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/get_JM_treatment.pl?5625,5626,5635
Bioregional distribution: North Coast, Central Coast, San Francisco Bay Area, n Channel Islands
Distribution outside California: to Alaska, ne N.America
But Jepson only ever gives North American distributions, not global.

From Plants For a Future:
http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Plantago+maritima
Western Europe, including Britain, from Scandanavia south and east to Spain, Hungary and Russia
But they only appear to give the European distribution (somewhat odd, as PFAF usually does better than this!).
