Rumex digynus.—All the species of Rumex
are boiled and eaten by the
Icelanders ; though only the
young shoots of acutus are
employed. Of the Acetosa
a beverage is made by the
common people, by steeping
the plant in water till all the
juice is extracted. This drink
is kept some time; but soon
becomes bad and putrid in
warm weather.
