''Plantago media'', known as the hoary plantain, is a species of genus ''Plantago'' native to central and western Europe, including Great Britain and introduced to parts of the north-east United States. Its generic name is derived from the Latin for sole; like other members of ''Plantago'', it should not be confused with the plantain, a starchy banana. ==Description==
''Plantago media'' grows in damp grassy meadows up to an altitude of 2000 m. A slender stalk of between 5 to 50 cm develops from a basal rosette of finely-haired leaves. Delicate pink-white flowers are borne between May and September. ''P. media'' is hermaphrodite and is pollinated by wind or insects, particularly bees. The plant is edible and has long maintained a reputation for medicinal effects as an astringent for treating wounds. In antiquity it was employed against toothache and eye infections. Archeological finds testify to its use during the Roman era in Britain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Archaeobotanical Computer Database (ABCD) )〕 The seeds are a laxative.
