Broad-leaved Dock Dock family
Rumex obtusifolius Polygonaceae

Broad-leaved dock is a common weed of cultivated ground, waste places and riverbanks, although it has been less of a problem weed in arable land since the introduction of modern weedkillers.
Its leaves are used to relieve nettle stings.
