Ribwort Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) - 20220602-01

            Ribwort Plantain is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae.  It is native to temperate Eurasia, widespread throughout the British Isles, but scarce on the most acidic soils (pH < 4.5). It is present and widespread in the Americas and Australia as an introduced species. 

It can live anywhere from very dry meadows to places similar to a rain forest, but it does best in open, disturbed areas. It is therefore common near roadsides where other plants cannot flourish; it grows tall if it can do so, but in frequently-mowed areas it adopts a flat growth habit instead.  (Wikipedia)

I have vague memories of playing a game called "conkers" as a child in england.  The aim of the gaime would be to whip off the head of our opponents stem with our own.  According to Wikipedia, there are a variety of games played with this plant.
