They are found in many different habitats, most commonly in wet areas like seepages or bogs. They can also be found in alpine and semi-alpine or coastal areas. The cosmopolitan weeds can be frequently seen at the side of roads.

Plantago species have been used since prehistoric times as herbal remedies. The herb is astringent, anti-toxic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, as well as demulcent, expectorant, styptic and diuretic.^[2] Externally, a poultice of the leaves is useful for insect bites, poison-ivy rashes, minor sores, and boils. In folklore it is even claimed to be able to cure snakebite. Internally, it is used for coughs and bronchitis, as a tea, tincture, or syrup. The broad-leaved varieties are sometimes used as a leaf vegetable for salads, green sauce, etc.

Asparagus Officinalis  - Edible

 

 

 

 

Asparagus or garden asparagus, scientific name Asparagus officinalis, is a spring vegetable, a flowering perennial^[1] plant species in the genus Asparagus.Asparagus has been used as a vegetable and medicine, owing to its delicate flavour, diuretic properties, and more. It is pictured as an offering on an Egyptian frieze dating to 3000 BC. In ancient times, it was also known in Syria and in Spain. Greeks and Romans ate it fresh when in season, and dried the vegetable for use in winter; Romans even froze it high in the Alps, for the Feast of Epicurus. Emperor Augustus created the "Asparagus Fleet" for hauling the vegetable, and coined the expression "faster than cooking asparagus" for quick action.

 

Beta vulgaris (beet)  -  Edible

 

 

 

 

Beta vulgaris (beet) is a plant in the Amaranthaceae family (which is now included in Betoideae subfamily).^{[1][2][3][4][5]} It has numerous cultivated varieties, the most well known of which is the root vegetable known as the beetroot or garden beet.

Spinach beet leaves are eaten as a pot herb. Young leaves of the garden beet are sometimes used similarly. The midribs of Swiss chard are eaten boiled while the whole leaf blades are eaten as spinach beet.

In some parts of Africa, the whole leaf blades are usually prepared with the midribs as one dish.^[8]

The leaves and stems of young plants are steamed briefly and eaten as a vegetable; older leaves and stems are stir-fried and have a flavour resembling taro leaves.

The usually deep-red roots of garden beet can be baked, boiled, or steamed, and often served hot as a cooked vegetable or cold as a salad vegetable. They are also pickled. Raw beets are added to salads. A large proportion of the commercial production is processed into boiled and sterilised beets or into pickles. In Eastern Europe beet soup, such as cold borsch, is a popular dish. Yellow-coloured garden beets are grown on a very small scale for home consumption

 

Cichorium intybus   -  Edible

 

 

 

Common chicory, Cichorium intybus,^[3] is a somewhat woody, perennial herbaceous plant usually with bright blue flowers, rarely white or pink. Many varieties are cultivated for salad leaves, chicons (blanched buds), or for roots (var. sativum), which are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive.

Wild chicory leaves are usually bitter. Their bitterness is appreciated in certain cuisines, such as in the Liguria and Puglia regions of Italy and also in Catalonia (Spain), in Greece and in Turkey.^[9] In Ligurian cuisine the wild chicory leaves are an ingredient of preboggion and in Greek cuisine of horta; in the Puglian region wild chicory leaves are combined with fava bean puree in the traditional local dish Fave e Cicorie Selvatiche.;^[10] in Albania the leaves are used as a spinach substitute, mainly served simmered and marinated in olive oil, or as ingredient for fillings of byrek.

By cooking and discarding the water the bitterness is reduced, after which the chicory leaves may be sautéed with garlic, anchovies and other ingredients. In this form the resulting greens might be combined with pasta^[11] or accompany meat dishes.^[12]

Have some Calendula in my bathroom right now actually, great stuff

 

List DOES seem a bit long, but better too many ideas than too few,i can definitely get behind more ways to survive using nature

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

We call Plantago Laukahi here, and was used quite a bit as medicine by the Native Hawaiians (even to this day, the native strain isn't as common but it does grow like a weed, most people don't even give it a second look.  I scatter seeds around urban areas whenever I get the chance, kind of a Ninja Prep)

EDIT

We also use a lot of Aloe here as well.  Got a couple plants out in the yard, good for bug bites, sunburns, burns, and itching.  One of our dogs had mange and rolled around in one of the plants a while back (though that might have just been because he wanted to scratch on the thorns).

 

Would love to see more medicinal plants added in, though I think we run the risk of a Skyrimesqe overload of plants if we add too many in, maybe just 1 for each 'ailment' they add in.

Added,thanks for your input on the subject.

Even if it's rare,devs can model fictional plants having as basis real ones.

It goes without saying that,i would highly appreciate your own personal herb suggestions. :)

There is never such a thing as "too many wild usable things" (for lack of a better term). They are too useful to only have one for each "thing". Long-term survival is dependent on, not merely supplemented by, the proper recognition and use of multiple plant species, from flowers to reeds to trees.
