Block graphs have been enumerated by various authors. In this paper, plane tree-like structures in which the blocks are labelled with integers in the set {1,2,...,k} such that the labels of the blocks are non-decreasing from left to right are introduced. These tree-like structures are called weakly labelled k-plane tree-like structures herein. Using symbolic method, generating functions and application of Lagrange-B\"{u}rmann inversion, the structures are counted by number of vertices, blocks, occurrences of labels, root degree and label of the eldest/youngest block child of the root, number of leaves, forests and outdegree sequence.
