Broadleaf Plantain:
Also reffered to as 'the white mans slipper,' since it sprouted up in concrete- and followed the trail of concrete made by settlers. Regardless of its origin, however, it remains a highly medicinal plant that can now be found almost everywhere. Can be used as an astringent or can be applied to surface bleeding. Fresh leaves can be used for poultice cuts, wounds, stings, sores, and burns.
