Dear all, Rumex acetosella is characterized by having hastate leaves so that possibility is ruled out here.
To me it looks like Rumex nepalensis only. Here the plant is in flowering stage so the most important character of the plant i.e. presence of fringed fruiting perianth is not visible here. Perusal of various herbarium sheets at Chinese Virtual herbarium at the following link could be of use. http://photo.cvh.org.cn/pic/kun/36/366765.jpg Further comments are solicited. Regards, Ritesh.
