--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, normally glabrous, rarely very indistinctly papillose on veins of leaf blades abaxially, with fusiform, vertical rootstock. <b>Stems</b> erect, branched in distal 2/3 (sometimes with few flowering stems from rootstock), 30–80(–120) cm. <b>Leaves</b>: ocrea deciduous to partially persistent at maturity; blade oblong-lanceolate, obovate-lanceolate, or lanceolate, normally (5–)10–30 × 2.5–6 cm, base broadly cuneate, rounded, or truncate, rarely subcordate, margins entire, flat to very weakly undulate, apex subacute, occasionally obtuse. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal, occupying distal 2/3 of stem, lax, interrupted, broadly paniculate, branches simple or nearly so, almost all but distalmost whorls with subtending leaves; panicle leafy at least in proximal 2/3 of length. <b>Pedicels</b> articulated in proximal 1/3 or occasionally near middle, filiform, 1–4(–5) mm, ca. as long as inner tepals or slightly longer, articulation distinctly swollen. <b>Flowers</b> 10–20 in dense remote whorls; inner tepals oblong-lanceolate, oblong, or lingulate, 2–3 × 1–1.6(–2) mm, ca. 2 times as long as wide, base cuneate or truncate, margins entire, apex obtuse; tubercles 3, equal or subequal, largest tubercle almost as wide as inner tepal. <b>Achenes</b> usually dark reddish brown, 1.5–1.8 × 1–1.4 mm. <b>2n</b> = 20.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Rumex conglomeratus</i> often is confused with immature specimens of <i>R. obtusifolius</i>, as well as with other species (e.g., <i>R. sanguineus</i>). Its distribution in North America is insufficiently known, and some literature records may refer to <i>R. obtusifolius</i>.</p><!--
--><p><i>Rumex conglomeratus</i> and <i>R. sanguineus</i> were placed in subsect. Conglomerati Rechinger f. (K. H. Rechinger 1937).</p>
