Three Non-flowering Plants for ID?

[jdoherty]

All of these pics were taken in Northern Ireland and I'm not sure if these are flowering or non-flowering plants so bear with me if I'm wrong. The first plant I think is a dock (in seed?) but not sure if it is common or curled? I took the oic in October 2006. The second plant was also taken in October 2009. The third and last pic was taken in an area of the docks in Belfast in june 2007. I'd appreciate any help with IDs.

Thanks, John.

I don't think 1 is curled dock- it should be more obviously curled-but I could be wrong.
3 is deffinatly weld

The dock has cordate bases to the leaves so can't be the Curled. I think it's the Broad-leaved. Agree weld on the last.

1) Broad Leaved Dock
2) Opposite Leaved Golden Saxifrage (no flowers or fruit present)
3) Weld

Disagree with KT on 2. It doesn't look like Opp.-leaved Golden Saxifrage to me though I can't give you any suggestions.

I could be wrong. I do you have any more information on habitat? It looks similar to a Duckweed but they are primarily pond plants.

The second pic was taken in mid-October in a wooded area on the slopes of Cavehill in Belfast. It wasn't anywhere near a pond.
