inclined to consider them as R. orientalis and not as R. domesticus as 
has been done hitherto with the mountain-Rumices from Turkestan 
(see e.g.: B. Fedtschenko: Mat. fl. Shugnan, trav. Mus. bot. Ac. St. Pb. 
I., 1902). But I believe that on closer consideration of a larger material 
more species will be found to exist.

Slightly magnified. sn (June 9th 1898, N. 340) and at Margelan (Ma 
sh (Ju ) g (May 
37th 1898, N. 287). Mr. Lipsky has identified N. 340 as R. obtusifolius, 
N. 287 and 1739 as R. pulcher. 
This species is related to R. nepalensis Spreng., R. pulcher L. and R. 
reticulatus Bess., but is easily discernible by the broad valves bearing 
straight spines, and the not divaricated panicle. In foliage it has some 
resemblance to R. obtusifolius L.
