Plantain virus X is a species of virus, part of the Potexvirus viral family. It infects the weed plaintain (Plantago lanceolata).[1] DNA sequencing has shown it to be synonymous with Actinidia virus X, infecting kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) and blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum).[1] The same research also found Plantain virus X infecting Capsicum annuum (sweet pepper) and the ornamental flower Browallia americana.[1]
