And this plant showed up but only momentarily. It really is strange how we see this off and on when hiking in the desert. Also called Sand Dock and Desert Rhubarb (which I like the best as it's easy to remember and resembles Wild Rhubarb). https://www.desertusa.com/flowers/Wild-Rhubarb.html

https://www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/2 ... igre-dock/ Edible – The leaves and rhubarb-like stems are edible if cooked to remove some of the oxalic acid. These plants are high in soluble oxalates, so they should only be eaten in limited amounts.

Poisonous – The plants contain high levels of oxalic acid and can sicken livestock.
