Introduced Species
I often see these in the neighborhood, but I have only seen one in the yard so far. Since it's a non-native weed, I suppose I should remove it. But I just couldn't make myself do it, since it is the only individual I have from this species in the yard.
Ribwort Plantain was introduced from Europe to the United States in 1822. It's seeds can lie dormant for fifty years before germinating. (See UC Davis article, linked below.)
