Plantago lanceolata, also known as Plantain, is a hardy perennial herb belonging to the family Plantaginaceae. Its remarkable lanceolate leaves are arranged in a rosette with parallel veins emerging from the stem. These leaves enable the plant to produce food by photosynthesis and are known for their medicinal properties. The flower stems are slender and long, leafless and carry flowers arranged in a small, compact, cylindrical spike at the end. Plantin can adapt to a wide range of soil and climatic conditions and is often found in open areas such as roadsides, meadows and pastures.
