ISO: an herb called "Recao"

Misc.
I have recently returned from a trip to Puerto Rico where I was introduced to an herb called in Spanish "Recao". Its appearance is similar to dandelion greens but its flavor is similar to, but more pungent than, cilantro or coriander. Does anyone know is there is an English name for this herb? Is it available in the U.S.? Perhaps by mail?

Thank you in advance for your help.
