The flowers should solve this right away. This is now spring and they should be showing something, yes? So far I am voting for comfrey. This gets lots bigger than plantain. Never seen Italian Arum...sounds awful. | |
| Apr 14, 2016 at 16:56 | comment | added | Debra Brooks | well I checked on this plant and found several like it in the vicinity so am watching to see if it grows a stem or flowers or what. I am surprised how long and big the leaves are still no change in color either and seems to have come through the winter with little change in appearance. | |

| Sep 26, 2015 at 17:57 | comment | added | Debra Brooks | The plant is on hill slope I'd say perhaps half shade due to taller weeds near it but not over it that I can tell. | |

But just because I think it is plantain don't eat it, make very sure. Be careful with other plants you might pull up inadvertantly that might be toxic. I am just going by your picture. Knowing what to eat and what not to eat in the wild is important. I've taken lots of wilderness survival classes and 'when in ANY doubt don't eat it!' | |
