A common perennial weed with large, broad leaves and pale greenish-yellow and brown flowers in long greenish spikes.

Common plantain, also known as broad-leaved plantain, dooryard plantain, greater plantain, round-leaved plantain, way bread, and white man's foot, is a perennial plant that is, appropriately enough, common in waste places, lawns, dooryards, and roadsides all over North America (except the extreme north) and Europe. Its leaves are broadly ovate, entire or toothed, and characterized by a thick, channeled footstalk. The flower stalks grow from 6 to 18 inches high and are tipped with long, slender, spikes of greenish-white flowers whose color is again overshadowed by brownish sepals and bracts. Flowering time is from May to October.

Plantain has been effectively used as an astringent, demulcent, diuretic, expectorant, and hemostatic. Common plantain can be used the same way as lance-leaf plantain. In addition, the juice or infusion can be taken for bladder problems and for gastrointestinal ulcers. A decoction can also be used externally for various skin problems, including ringworm, and also as a douche for leucorrhea. Chewing on the rootstock will give temporary relief from toothache. Finally, common plantain is sometimes recommended to increase virility (this use was probably suggested by the suggestive flower spike).
