The Broadleaf Plantain or Greater Plantago

(Plantago major)

Habitat:

Woodlands

Notes:

Crushed leaves can be applied directly to the skin to stop bleeding, bee stings and insect bites. Psyllium seeds are a bulk laxative. The young leaves are delicious raw in salads. In summer and fall the leaves can be eaten when boiled as greens.
