--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, glabrous, with vertical rootstock. <b>Stems</b> erect or ascending, usually producing axillary shoots below 1st-order inflorescence or at proximal nodes, 30–60(–90) cm. <b>Leaf</b> blades linear-lanceolate, occasionally almost linear, 5–13 × (0.5–)1–2.5 cm, usually ca. 7 or more times as long as wide, widest near middle, thin, occasionally subcoriaceous, base cuneate, margins entire, flat or rarely slightly crenulate, apex acute or attenuate. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal and axillary, terminal usually occupying distal 1/5–1/3 of stem, rather lax, interrupted in proximal 1/2, or almost to top, usually narrowly paniculate (branches normally simple and short). <b>Pedicels</b> articulated in proximal 1/3 or almost near base, filiform (slightly thickened towards base of tepals), 3–5 mm, not more than 2–2.5 times as long as inner tepals, articulation indistinctly swollen. <b>Flowers</b> 7–20 in whorls; inner tepals broadly triangular, (1.8–)2–2.5(–3) × 1.5–2.1 mm, base broadly cuneate or truncate, margins entire or indistinctly erose, apex acute; tubercle 1, large, subequal or slightly narrower than inner tepals (then free margins of inner tepal distinctly narrower than tubercle), smooth or indistinctly verrucose. <b>Achenes</b> dark reddish brown, 1.8–2 × 1.1–1.3 mm. <b>2n</b> = 20.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Rumex salicifolius</i> occurs mostly in southern and central California; it has been reported also from adjacent parts of Arizona (N. M. Sarkar 1958) and <i>Nevada</i> (J. T. Kartesz 1987, vol. 1). The name <i>R. salicifolius</i> has been applied in a broad sense to nearly all species of subsect. Salicifolii, including even mostly Asian <i>R. sibiricus</i>. <i>Rumex salicifolius</i> appears to be most closely related to <i>R. californicus</i> and <i>R. utahensis</i>.</p>
