[Wikipedia] Eurasia native, Description: Plantago major, the broadleaf plantain, white man's footprint, waybread, or greater plantain, is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae. The plant is native to Eurasia. The young, tender leaves can be eaten raw, and the older, stringier leaves can be boiled in stews and eaten. Plantain is wind-pollinated and propagates primarily by seeds, which are held on the long, narrow spikes which rise well above the foliage.[3][6] Each plant can produce up to 20,000 seeds, which are very small and oval-shaped, with a bitter taste.[7] (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
