GPSed. Heights <=1.4m. Located a dried out ephemeral wetland patch where my FOG colleagues and I have observed plenty of Rumex crispus but the morphology of this sighting, especially the relatively narrow leaves, suggests it might be another weed species?

I was hoping it could have been a native, as there weren't toooooo many of them. Great to get the ID however. Thanks Jane and Michael.

Thanks @ member211. That fits with it being in an ephemeral wetland area.
