Dear Dinesh ji,
Vibrant photo and good work.
Kerala plants site mentioned it's Malayalam names as Nilachakka നിലചക്ക (nilam means land and chakka means jackfruit but I think the name is derived of it's rosette leaves) Njaramboori ഞരമ്പൂരി (njarambu means vein and oori means loosing, but I think this name is related to it's medicinal value).  I am also documented this plant (white variant) from Munnar region. Thank you for ID.
With regards, Sam.
Syn. Plantago major

Many many thanks, Sam ji, for the appreciation, and for pointing to Kerala Plants site for Malayalam names of Plantago major.

While compiling names of Plantago major L. ... I found that the Floras of peninsular India have included Plantago major auct. non L. ... a synonym of some other distinct Plantago. often of Plantago asiatica L.

Plantago major in Kerala plants is Plantago major sensu Hook. f., Fl. Brit. India 4: 705. 1885 p.p., non L. 1753;
synonym of Plantago erosa Wall. ... which is considered as synonym of Plantago asiatica subsp. erosa (Wall.) Z.Yu Li

Thus, these names നിലചക്ക nilachakka and രമ്പൂരി njaramboori refer to another Plantago major.

Regards.
Dinesh
