Another very common and vile weed found in clover and alfalfa seed is the nar- 

 row leaved plantain or "tauckhorn" plantain. Its seeds are so nearly the same size 

 as those of clover that they can be removed only with persistent recleaning. A 

 near relative and of common occurrence is the broad-leaved plantain. In both 

 cases the seeds can be quite readily recognized and seed containing them even in 

 moderate amounts should be avoided.
