My "An Instant Guide to Medicinal Plants" book says it's English Plantain. We've got loads of it in the pasture, as well as the common plantain. Here's some of it's uses:
'Demulcent, expectorant, diuretic, astringent. The fresh leaves bring relief to minor cuts and stings, and stops bleeding. An infusion or fresh juice can be used to treat coughs and hoarseness, and to relieve gastritis.' :D
