What is it?

I'm expanding my knowledge of weeds this summer. Does anyone know what this is called?

roadside junk?

Ha, ha, ha. I knew someone was going to say that.

Looks like a weed that Caroline harvests and eats; it has a lemon flavor.

Hmmm.

I think I've got it... Curled Dock or Sour Dock.

M, don't let Caroline eat too many of the leaves; they contain oxalic acid. Cooking removes that.

You've got me curious now, I have to go look up oxalic acid.
