English translation:common sorrel / rumex
Explanation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumex

The docks and sorrels, genus Rumex L., are a genus of about 200 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbs in the buckwheat family Polygonaceae.

Members of this family are very common perennial herbs growing mainly in the northern hemisphere, but various species have been introduced almost everywhere.

Some are nuisance weeds (and are sometimes called dockweed or dock weed), but some are grown for their edible leaves.

Rumex species are used as food plants by the larvae of a number of Lepidoptera species - see list of Lepidoptera that feed on Rumex.

http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sóska

A sóska (Rumex acetosa) a keserűfűfélék (Polygonaceae) családjába tartozó évelő, lágyszárú levélzöldség. Egész Európában őshonos, de megtalálható Észak-Amerikában, Ázsiában és Chilében is.

Jellegzetes savanyú ízét a benne található oxálsavnak köszönheti. Hashajtó hatása is van.

Spenót (főzelék) jellegű étel készíthető belőle, de használják saláták ízének fokozására is. Savanykás ízének étvágygerjesztő hatása is van. Magas C-vitamin tartalmának köszönhetően hatékonynak tartják a skorbut gyógyítására és megelőzésére. Sok ásványi sót, meszet, foszfort és vasat tartalmaz. Frissen szedve kedvelt gyerekcsemege.

Asker: I chose this because I like the addition of the word 'common' plus the Latin root, very helpful
