Polygonacae Fortnight: Rumex maritimus L(?) – from Assam KD MAY04 : 5 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (6). Attached images may be Rumex maritimus L collected from Assam. My earlier post. Please ID the Species. No doubt in genus, however I have a doubt in species name. Of all Rumex described in Fl-Brit-Ind this can only be R. maritimus L. But 1) The taxon needs to be verified as per FoC 2) Fl-Brit-Ind connects R. m. with a number of citations and one is R. chinensis Campd. You can see the key at - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=128864#KEY-1-7 3) Sir Prain as well as Fl-Brit-Ind equates R. m. with R. acutus of Flora Indica. In Roxburgh's own words, "..... valvelets all grain-bearing, at the flowering time entire, at the fruit time toothed.... ." Roxburgh also noted down the difference with European plants. |
