Regarding subspecies Google AI gives these differences:
*Rumex dentatus* subsp. *nigricans* and *subsp. dentatus* are infraspecific
taxa of the highly variable *Rumex dentatus* (Toothed Dock) species. They
differ primarily in their geographical distribution and subtle
morphological features of the inner tepals (valves). *Subsp. nigricans* is
generally recognized as a distinct, often geographically specific race,
while *subsp. dentatus* (sometimes associated with *subsp. callosissimus*)
typically features distinct tubercles and specific valve teeth lengths.

Key differences include:

   - Taxonomic Status & Distribution: Both are recognized as distinct
   subspecies within the *R. dentatus* complex. *Rumex nigricans* Hook.f.
   is considered a synonym for *R. dentatus* subsp. *nigricans*.
   - Morphological Distinctions: While both have 3-4 teeth on their valves*R.
   dentatus* subsp. *dentatus* is characterized by inner tepals that are
   3–4 × 2 mm, acute, with tubercles covering nearly the entire lamina. The
   teeth on *subsp. dentatus* are often shorter than the width of the valve.
   - Variation: *Rumex dentatus* is notoriously polymorphic, with seven or
   more geographical races across Europe, Asia, and Africa, making precise
   identification based solely on vegetative characteristics difficult without
   analyzing mature fruits (valves).

Both are annual or biennial herbs preferring similar, often moist, habitats.
