Description

A description of Rumex hastatulus is provided in The Flora of North America.

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

R. hastatulus can be found in shortleaf pine-oak forests, back sides of foredunes, scrub edges, under magnolia islands in sand dune communities, sandy areas of upland mixed forests, mesic woodlands, rocky open woods, thickets, granite outcrops, upland sandhill pond basins.[1] It can also occur along roadsides, roadside depressions, recently tilled roadsides, lawns, open fields, recently cleared areas, swampy woodland clearings, cleared creek bottoms, sandy fallow fields, old biocontrol plots, and areas of frequently disturbed soils. [1] Soils include sand, sandy loam, and loamy sand.[1]

Associated species include Liatris, Panicum, Leptoloma cognatum, Trifolium, Vicia, Linaria, Cerastium and Viola.[1]

Phenology

R. hastatulus has been observed to flower from February to May with peak inflorescence in April and fruits in April.[1][2]

Herbivory and toxicology

Heavily grazed by deer.[1]

Conservation, cultivation, and restoration

Cultural use

The Rumex species can be cooked into a meal of greens or the new leaves could be pureed. In the past, it was kept as a potherb for this reason. Additionally, Native Americans would use the plant's seeds to create flour.[3]
