--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial, glabrous, with vertical rootstock. <b>Stems</b> ascending, ascending-decumbent, or erect, simple or producing axillary shoots below 1st-order inflorescence or at proximal nodes, 25–70 cm. <b>Leaf</b> blades linear-lanceolate or lanceolate, 6–15(–17) × 2–4 cm, usually ca. 3.5–6 times as long as wide, widest near middle or nearly so, thin or rarely subcoriaceous, base cuneate, margins entire, undulate or slightly crisped, apex acute. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal and axillary, terminal usually occupying distal 1/5–1/3 of stem, dense or occasionally interrupted near base, usually broadly paniculate (branches simple or with few 2d-order branches). <b>Pedicels</b> articulated in proximal 1/3, filiform, 3–7 mm, equaling or 1.5–2 times as long as inner tepals, articulation indistinctly swollen. <b>Flowers</b> 10–20(–25) in whorls; inner tepals, broadly ovate to ovate-lanceolate, occasionally almost triangular, (2.5–)3–3.5 × 2–2.5 mm, base truncate or rounded, margins entire or indistinctly erose, apex obtuse or subacute; tubercles 3 (occasionally 1 in var. monotylos Rechinger f., then very large, subequal or only slightly narrower than inner tepal), distinctly unequal (1 larger tubercle subequal or slightly narrower than inner tepal), usually smooth. <b>Achenes</b> dark reddish brown, 1.8–2.4 × 1–1.5 mm. <b>2n</b> = 20.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>J. T. Kartesz (1987, vol. 1) reported Rumex transitorius from Washoe County, Nevada; the morphological characters mentioned in his description suggest another taxon of the R. salicifolius aggregate. Records from Idaho also need confirmation.</p>
