I'm sure i have some anecdotal information about this shot, but I'm at a loss at the moment. DESCRIPTION: A greenish-white spike rises from a set of low-lying, heavily ribbed basal group of leaves. The flowers are amassed on the spike which is anywhere from 6 - 18" tall. The flowers themselves are on little stems are less than 1/10" long at the top of this stalk. FLOWERS: June to October HABITAT: Lawns (where they are considered tenacious weeds), fields, roadsides and waste places. OTHER INFORMATION: This is one of the plants that is the bane of lawnskeepers. The low-lying basal leaves fan out and go generally uncut by lawn mowers. The Pale Plantain (Plantago rugelii) is distinguished by the purple stalks of the leaves.
