I've never seen that one .. I was going to suggest it's another member of the dock family- like the redshank ... looks like a lot of seeds .

It may be some relative of fathen - chenopodium - a spinach relative.

Smoke it and see what happens

Peace

could it be millet ???? from birdfood

Think its Tall Water Hemp... Amaranthus Tuberculatus

definitely fathen - I'm not used to seeing it so late in seeding where it's stretched and lost the distinctive leaf shape.

edible in moderation as spinach ...

But don't confuse it with any of the lesser spurges like dog mercury - if it exudes white sap, leave it alone !

Thanks.
