Ribwort Plantain (Plantago lanceolata)
A short rosette forming perennial herb with spikes of blackish-brown flowers with yellow anthers with leathery ribbed leaves sprouting from the base of the plant. Ribwort plantain is probably the most constant and widespread component of natural and semi-natural grassland in Britain. It is found in all but the most acid grassland from tall meadow communities to grazed pasture, lawns, sea cliffs and sand dunes.
