Growing as an epiphyte
@lizgandy @bruceholtz . This is a strange epiphyte especially in a wet area at Myakka Park

Assuming the identification as Rumex dentatus is correct, this seems to be a first record for Florida. This is not completely unlikely, as it has been found in a number of US states and is well established in southern California and Arizona. The characters seen here match the FNA description closely, such as the elliptic-lanceloate leaves with undulate edges, and the inflorescences spread out on long straight stems, and of course the teeth along the tepal margins; I don't see any of the known Florida species having all of these.
The specific location of this population is a low area draining from the solar farm to the west; possibly the seeds hitched a ride on construction materials or machinery coming from elsewhere.
