Common form of arrowhead.

The Rumex obtusifolius shows its single grain now.

Near Loring's ram that coarse mustard-like branched plant, one or two feet high, with racemes of small yellow flowers, -- perhaps Gray's Nasturtium palustre or Bigelow's Sisymbrium amphibium, -- in seed and in blossom.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, July 15, 1853

The Rumex obtusifolius shows its single grain now. See December 31. 1859 ("One of the two large docks, perhaps obtusifolius, commonly holds its seeds now, but they are very ready to fall. ")

That coarse mustard-like branched plant. See June 14, 1854 ("What is that sisymbrium or mustard-like plant at foot of Loring's?")
