["Habitat in Creta, Hispania."] Sp. Pl., ed. 2, 1: 482 (1762). RCN: 2604. Type not designated. Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 464.39 ( LINN ) ; Herb. Linn. No. 464.40 ( LINN ) . Current name: Rumex bucephalophorus L. ( Polygonaceae ). Note: Specific epithet spelled "aculeata" in the protologue. Lopez Gonzalez (in Anales Jard. Bot.
