Rumex patientia Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 333. 1753.

"Habitat in Italia." RCN: 2577.

Type not designated.

Original material: [icon] in Dodoëns, Stirp. Hist. Pempt., ed. 2: 647, 648. 1616.

Generitype of Rumex Linnaeus (vide Hitchcock, Prop. Brit. Bot.: 148. 1929).

Current name: Rumex patientia L. ( Polygonaceae).

Note: López González (in Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 44: 586. 1987) noted that 464.1 (LINN), treated as the type by Bhopal & Chaudhri (in Pakistan Syst. 1(2): 94. 1977), conflicts with Linnaeus’ protologue and lacks the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “1”), making it a post-1753 addition to the herbarium, and not original material for the name.
