Is this a plant to keep or a weed?

This plant has appeared under the camellia. I don't see any others like it so am assuming it is self seeded from somewhere. I would be grateful for an identification if possible. Thanks.

Looks like a Plantain to me. Wildflower / weed, take your pick.
How can you lie there and think of England

Thanks both. It will be out tomorrow. A plant in the wrong place!

However if you allow it to flower they do have something to catch the eye and then you can dig them out. Still a useful plant for the insects.

I might just do that as it is not really in the way at the moment but I will take it up before it sets seed.
