Yellow dock is a perennial plant in the Polygonaceae family. It’s considered a “wildflower” and can be found growing across the globe.

The scientific name for yellow dock is Rumex crispus which refers to the shape of its leaves and bitter taste. It gets its common name from its bright yellow roots, which are traditionally used as a medicine.
