Common plantain

Here in the pacific northwest, this plant grows everywhere, and I have eaten it often. Young leaves are best, they have a slightly meaty flavor to them. Note that in the older leaves, there are these sorts of stringers like in celery.

My mom wilted those with a lighter and put them on our bee stings.
