    Found near road where water flows. Leaves were spread around the base; whorled like.

    Answer

    Howard, you have photographed a species of Rumex (dock). I cannot tell you which species from the leaves alone. Hopefully knowing the genus will be useful to you and get you started on your study of this plant.
