Rumex arifolius can reach a height of 70–120 centimetres (28–47 in).[2] This plant has fleshy large leaves with entire blade margins. The inconspicuous white flowers and seeds are carried on long clusters at the top of a stalk arising from the axil of leaves. The flowers are dioecious and anemophilous.[2] They bloom from May to June.[3]
Rumex arifolius was first described by Carl Christian Gmelin in 1806.[1]
Maiden sorrel is native to southern Europe,[1][2] and parts of northern temperate Asia.[1]
This species prefers pine forests and mountainous meadows [2] at elevation of 200–700 metres (660–2,300 ft) above sea level.[3]
