Rumex palustris

Rumex palustris, or marsh dock,[1][2] is a plant species of the genus Rumex, found in Europe.

The species was mentioned by Leonard Plukenet, based on a collection made by Isaac Rand.[3] The authority of the accepted description, Rumex palustris, was James Edward Smith, in Fl. Brit. volume 1, on page 394 in 1800.[4][5]

The species epithet palustris is Latin for "of the marsh" and indicates its common habitat.[6]
