[The Nfld. report of Rumex graminifolia is based on a single 1904 collection (GH).  This species has not been collected in NL since 1904 and is now excluded from the NL flora.  The authority of Rumex gramineus is given as Georgi ex Lamb. in some resources but, although Lambert referred to Georgi, "Georgi himself ascribed the name Rumex graminifolia to Rudloph" (Kanchi Gandhi, pers comm., Jan. 6, 2023, to L. Brouillet and S. Meades.]
