Abstract
This study aimed to assess the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of Plantago ciliata samples collected from two distinct locations in the Ha’il Region of Saudi Arabia. The two species of P. ciliata were collected from local rangelands in the spring of 2016. Phenotypic variation was assessed by measuring various traits including the primary root length, number of stems (spikes), longest stem length, number of leaves, longest leaf length, and the fresh weight of the entire plant.
