Plantago ovata
Rosette of leaves. Upright thin stalks with grass-flower like flowers.
Quite barren landscape of Ladakh, a cold desert region.
I wonder how plants growing in such inhospitable areas get nutrition. The husk of the seed is taken as a laxative and sold under the name Sat-isabgul.

Thank you, VivBraznell and Vinny...it is Plantago.
I agree with vivbraznell looks like a Plantago sp.
Thanks for the pointer VivBranell....I will check...suggestions give me a sort of direction, you know....Thanks again.
Possibly Plantago sp. The leaf formation and flower look similar Sukanya, but I'm not familiar with the plants in your country
