Blackseed Plantain (Plantago rugelii)  Division - Magnoliaphyta Class - Magnoliopsida Subclass - Asteridae Order - Plantaginales Family - Plantaginaceae Genus - Plantago This plant has nothing to do with the banana-like fruit called the plantain. It is a common garden weed. It is invasive and, to be frank, not the prettiest plant in sight by a long shot. It commonly grows in sidewalk cracks and out of other such places. It can be differentiated from common plantain by its red stalks.   Taxonomic List List by Scientific Name List by Common Name |
