The paper is a continuation of the investigations on the hairs in representatives of family Plantaginaceae. It regards monotypic section Eremopsyllium Pilg . separated by Pilger from sectio Lamprosantha Decne . According to Rahn and Rønsted it is incorrect. In Plantago reniformis headed hairs typical of the family Plantaginaceae are present. They are plesiomorphic hairs with one celled stalk and head divided vertically into two cells. Headless hairs also are similar to hairs in subgenus Plantago sensu Rahn .
