Plantago lanceolata, also known as Ribwort Plantain, is closely related to Broadleaf Plantain, with its main differences being the shapes of their leaves, and the way that seeds cluster on their stalks. The ‘bud’ of its flowers is said to taste similar to mushrooms when cooked, quite different from the mucilaginous seeds on the flowering stalk of Plantago major and is a nutritionally dense wild edible. Plantago lanceolata is native to Europe, North Africa, and West and South Asia and is extremely drought tolerant.
