Herbarium specimen: Rumex sanguineus x obtusifolius = R. x dufftii

Taxon:Polygonaceae: Rumex sanguineus x obtusifolius = R. x dufftii Hausskn.
named by Eric Frederic Drabble

The (detached) lower leaf on my sheet has unmistakeable sanguineus characters, while the fruiting sepals seem to indicate obtusifolius. I think it is correctly named

Other name:Polygonaceae: Rumex sanguineus x obtusifolius = R. x dufftii Hausskn.
named by Danser 1933

Probably some hybrid of obtusifolius perhaps R. obt x sanguineus though different from the specimens seen by me up to the present; the latter have much narrower valves.
