Rumex Obtusifolius Subsp. Subalpinus

Rumex obtusifolius subsp. subalpinus is a lesser-known yet fascinating member of the Polygonaceae family. It thrives in high-altitude environments, often found in alpine meadows and rocky slopes. This subspecies is distinguished by its broad, lance-shaped leaves and robust growth habits. While it shares similarities with its parent species, it exhibits unique adaptations to cold and harsh climates. Its ecological role and potential uses remain areas of ongoing botanical interest.
