I am looking for a picture of the weed English Plantation. for identifying what my 2 yr old is allergic to.?
Question:This is popular in Michigan. and grows in the spring summer and fall, it grows all over is what i'm told. she is also allergic to mudwort, ragweed, mullberry trees, mullberrys and grapes. this was a expensive test but worth it. She has started to get what Dr.s call shinners under her eyes.

I believe you might be talking about Plantain (Plantago major). It is a leathery-leaved plant that grows in non-grassy areas of the yard and roadside. They have leathery ovate leaves coming from a single center and a flower stalk emerging from the base. I have heard of allergies related to this plant's pollen.
If you go to http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/...
you'll see a good drawing of the weed 'plantain' that grows in Michigan. It has other names, some are:
Broad-leaved Plantain & Englishman's Foot. I don't recommend taking plantain as an herbal, as this website describes. I hope the drawing will help you to identify it and helps your daughter get better!
