Tussilago farfara A perennial herb abundant throughout the British Isles, it is found especially on waste places, gravel pits, banks, landslides, boulder-clay cliffs and also on dunes and screes. It flowers from March to April, before the leaves appear.

The dried leaves of coltsfoot were formerly smoked as a remedy for asthma and coughs.
