Rumex acetosa L., Sp. Pl. 337 1753. (Syn: Acetosa agrestis Raf.; Acetosa amplexicaulis Raf.; ......; Rumex acetosa subsp. biformis (Lange) Valdés Berm. & Castrov. ..; Rumex biformis Lange; Rumex fontanopaludosus Kalela); Fotos taken on 23.5.11 before mowing the lawn. Sauerampfer contains vitamin c and is one of the valuable ingrediants in salad. Fishers used to use it against Scurvy, as it is found everywhere even in barren place. It can also be cooked like spinat, with potatos. I find the panicle looks very decorative.

Rumex acetosa L. Garden sorrel, used as vegetable Could not click it in India, although I had photographs of my herbarium specimens from Kashmir (I resisted temptation to upload them), but I could finally click them from University of California Botanical Garden this Sunday. (14.5.14) Thanks Sir for these nice pics, I lack many of them in my database... I have a strong desire to see these beautiful plants in a Kashmir visit with you...
On my last trip to the mountains on 16-17 August, I found this polygonaceae first at 3000m and then at about 3300m. There were very few plants scattered over the hillsides. I cannot place it. Please help identify it. Below Snowline and Ilaqa, Dharamshala, HP 3000-3300m 16-17 August 2017 Rumex sp., most probably R. acetosa (Polygonaceae) Thank you very much ... It is very likely R. acetosa. References: |
