Broadleaf weeds, as their name suggests, often have wide leaves and grow from a stem. Most broadleaf weeds develop clusters of blossoms or single flowers as they mature that can be considered undesirable. The roots of most broadleaf weeds are fibrous in nature. The roots can be thin, a large taproot, or a combination.
Vinca major is a trailing vine, spreading along the ground and rooting along the stems to form dense masses of groundcover individually 2–5 metres (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 16 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) across and up to 25 centimetres (10 in) high, perhaps even 50–70 cm (20–28 in).
Geum macrophyllum in fruit. Geum macrophyllum, commonly known as largeleaf avens or large-leaved avens [2] is a flowering plant found from the Arctic south to the northern U.S. states, and in the Rocky Mountains and west to the Sierra Nevada in California and as far south as Northwestern Mexico.
The leaves are simple, narrowly oblanceolate to linear, and borne in whorls of six to eight. [10] [11] [12] Cleavers have tiny, star-shaped, white to greenish flowers, which emerge from early spring to summer. The flowers are clustered in groups of two or three, and are borne out of the leaf axils. [13] The corolla bears 4 petals. [14]
The annual plant grows during the warmer seasons, germinating in the spring and flowering in the summer. Velvetleaf's leaves are large and heart-shaped with pointed tips at their ends, which grow alternately at different points along the length of the stem. The leaves are attached to thick, long stems, and when crushed, release an odor. [5]
Rumex obtusifolius, commonly known as bitter dock, [2] [3] broad-leaved dock, bluntleaf dock, dock leaf, dockens or butter dock, is a perennial plant in the family Polygonaceae. It is native to Europe, but is found on all temperate continents.
The leaves are edible as a salad green when young and tender, but they quickly become tough and fibrous as they get older. The older leaves can be cooked in stews. [ 18 ] The leaves contain calcium and other minerals, and 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of plantain contain approximately the same amount of beta-carotene as a large carrot .
Flower head Leaves. This plant is a taprooted perennial herb producing rough-haired stems usually one to three meters tall. The leaves are variable in shape and size, being 4 to 60 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 23 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and 1 to 30 cm (1 ⁄ 2 to 11 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) wide.
