Dyer's Plumeless sawwort
Explanation:
This is a guess - the Danish name I have found is engskær, not engblad.

neutral  Jørgen Madsen: Det engelske navn kunne også antyde, at planten har været brugt til farvefremstilling.

  -> Også den latinske og bogen, jeg har om plantefarvning - planten skulle hentes fra Sverige, men farveægtheden var bedre end planter, der voksede/vokser i Danmark
