Hi, Sam ji,

Is it listed in Flora of your area or Flora of Kerala?

FoPI does not mention it:
https://indiaflora-ces.iisc.ac.in/FloraPeninsular/herbsheet.php?id=7124&cat=7

I think it should be https://efloraofindia.com/2016/09/22/plantago-asiatica-subsp-erosa/ with details herein as reproduced below:

"A comment in the book said that P. erosa is difficult to tell apart from P. major but erosa has hairy leaves especially when they are young. I looked at young leaves and found them to be hairy. In fact there are scattered leaves even on the mature leaves."
