Rumex hymenosepalus is a perennial with tall reddish colored stems. The leaves are
elliptic, thick, and wider than those of Rumex crispus. The leaves can be wavy at the margin,
but usually not as much as with Rumex crispus. The reproductive panicles are thickly packed. Rumex hymenosepalus is found on sandy roadsides and
fields at lower to middle elevations.
