Rumex fascicularis is a perennial wetland herb in the buckwheat family, found in swamps and along river and lake shores in the southeastern United States. It grows best with consistently moist roots and rich soil.
Rumex fascicularis is a plant from the family Polygonaceae. This specific plant species experiences perennial growth and is originally found in North Carolina. Rumex fascicularis is from the genus Rumex, which are herbs and it is commonly seen growing near swamps, shores of rivers and lakes.
Rumex fascicularis can be found growing in swampy areas or along the shores of rivers. In the swamps there is little to no water movement. A sample of this plant discovered by G.V. Nash, was found in Florida along swamps and shorelines. The soil found in the swamp areas have a high nutrient content and may be washed by salt or fresh water. Today Rumex fascicularis can be found in Georgia, Texas and from Ft Smith to Rio Grande all the way to the south of Florida.
