Alternate leaves forming a rosette 1st. year sending up a flowering stalk in the 2nd year. The prickly fruits are ovate and flat looking like little hound's tongues(supposedly) that stick to anything especially your socks! Regarded as a noxious weed although closely related to comfrey and been used interchangebly so. Houndstongue is used in the medical industry as an analgesic.
