geeltongblaar

Pharos EN/AF gives suring and tongblaar for dock, but I would think that suring is sorrel (which is also Rumex, but sometimes Oxalis), and there is such a thing as yellow sorrel, which is not yellow dock. According to EN Wikipedia. So my guess would be geeltongblaar.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Baie, baie dankie, Samuel. Nie net vir hierdie naam nie, maar vir almal. Die logika waarmee jy onbekende/niebestaande name uitredeneer, is werklik 'n behoorlike begronding vir jou voorstelle. Baie dankie vir jou moeite - ek gaan al die name op die glossarium plaas. Hierdie dankie geld al jou pogings - ek gaan dus nie elke keer dankie sê nie. Elriena"
