Common name : Mountain sorrel
Perennial, tiny, glabrous, simple, ascendent, stems up to 10-30 cm high. Fruits achenes, a strong compressed, broad winged, enclosed within perianth lobes, 3-4.5 x 3.3-4.6 mm. Seeds pyriform shaped, corpus slight biconvex, base cuneate, apex pointed, 1.5-1.7 x 0.8-1 mm. Surface bare lustrous, orange-yellow or brown-red. [Atlas of Seeds and Fruits of Central and East-European Flora]
Glabrous succulent herb. Leaves mostly basal, long stalked, fleshy, pale green often turning reddish; blade rounded to kidney-shaped. Flowers greenish or reddish, borne in long slender, sparsely branched spikes. Fruits orbicular, notched, red, with membranous wing.
Action: Refrigerant, antiscorbutic. [Indian Medicinal Plants An Illustrated Dictionary]
Uses: Lymphs disorders and urine retention. Leaves are edible raw or cooked. [Medicinal Plants of Dolpo]
One of the most refreshing plants one encounters in the high country is the alpine mountain sorrel. The new growth up to flowering time can be eaten raw, when it tastes like a mild rhubarb. The stems and leaves can be used in salads or prepared as a potherb. Some aboriginal peoples have been known to ferment mountain sorrel as a kind of sauerkraut. This is accomplished by simply letting the plant(s) sit in water for a while. This sauerkraut can then be stored for winter use (Schofield 1989). The plants were also dried in the sun for later travel. These plants are high in vitamin C and can be used to prevent and cure scurvy. Large amounts could, however, cause oxalate poisoning.
