Thanks - It's to be included in a menu in a posh local restaurant, so the scientific name isn't much good, so I think I'll opt for "wild greens" and "wild herbs" as parenthetical information on the menu

Explanation:
Morning Graham:-)
I think you need to give a little more context.

However, to help you, at least partially, for "quelite", the Oxford gives "pigweed" which according to the RH-Webster's, is a plant of the amaranth family sometimes cultivated for food.

Hope someone else comes along with more help.

Good Luck:-)
