Leaves far to narrow for P.varia

Leaf width not so different between the two ? Flora Vic gives leaf width for P. varia as 0.5 to 2 cm. PlantNet gives 10-20 mm.

Perhaps but P.varia tends to have quite wide leaves which several rows of teeth such as this one Plantago varia (Native Plaintain)

P.guadichaudii is the species with the narrow leaves and inrolled margins that are often entire as with your specimen Plantago gaudichaudii (Narrow Plantain)

I find that P.varia is a september-november thing while P.gaudichaudii flowers later in December or january.

No worries Luke, appreciate you looking after moderating the last few weeks. Currently in the midst of some pretty heavy assement so haven't had as much time for it.

No worries, best wishes and thankfully hasn't been too busy, my assessment is picking up a bit too so just doing little bits here and there
