English term or phrase: Baby sorrel
In a book about herbs and plants :

"The bright green leaves and stems of this plant (also known simply as sorrel) come
in three sizes: micro, baby, and large."

I can't find anything about the baby one especially but would also appreciate information about the other two to get it right.

Thanks.

Explanation:
Il s'agit, à mon sens, de différents stades de développement de la même plante.
Plus les pousses sont jeunes moins elles sont acides. C'est tout.
