|discussion=<p>The names <i>Rumex mexicanus</i> and <i>R. salicifolius</i> in the broad sense often have been applied to <i>R. utahensis</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Records of “narrow-leaved forms” of <i>Rumex utahensis</i> from Yukon (E. Hultén 1968) probably refer to R. hultenii Tzvelev (see comments under 27. <i>R. sibiricus</i>) or <i>R. sibiricus</i> in the narrow sense.</p>
