• Rumex pseudonatronatus Borb. – Field Dock - Perennial. Supralittoral; common. Reporting R. crispus L for the Kindo peninsula, refers to this species.
• Rumex thyrsiflorus Fingerh. – Compact dock, Thyrse sorrel - Perennial. Supralittoral and dry seashore glades; common.

Family Amaranthaceae Juss. (including Chenopodiaceae Vent. – Goosefoot Family)

Genus Atriplex L. – saltbush, orache, orach

• A. nudicaulis Bogusl. s.l. (A. kuzenevae N. Sem., A. lapponica Pojark.) – Baltic Saltbush - Annual. Supralittoral – common; as a weed near buildings – rare. From this species (which might be more correctly named A. longipes Drej. s.l.), some reseachers often isolate several close species, which require further study. According to А.П. Сухоруков (oral report), at the Wite Sea coast, there grow two species: A. nudicaulis s. str. and A. praecox Hülph. Both species reported on the Kindo peninsula, while A. nudicaulis s.str. strongly dominates.

• Salicornia pojarkovae (N. Semen.) – Pojarkova's Glasswort -. Annual. Silty littoral; quite often. The species described is from the Rugozerskaya Bay coast.

Salicornia taxonomy is rather complicated; not all plants are being able to be identified satisfactorily.
