Dear Mr. Chgaudhary,

Thank you.

But it is not listed in Nepal  and could not find any image in the 

net for matching .

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[J.M. Garg]

I could find one herbarium image at http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/912626301

Pl. check.

[Ritesh Kumar Choudhary]

Dear Garg Sir,

As per Flora of China, Persicaria assamica is characterized by having a spicate inflorescence, which is not the case here. I will check with other literature and revert.

Regards,

Ritesh

Awaiting your help Ritesh sir !

Thank you.

[Ritesh Kumar Choudhary]

Dear Saroj Ji,

Sorry for my previous statement ''Persicaria assamica is characterized by having a spicate inflorescence, which is not the case here''. Actually, the inflorescence is spicate here. Don't know how I overlooked it. Anyway, found the type sheet of P. assamicum here (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/vh/specimen_details.php?irn=155978). And I am not much convinced with my previous ID i.e. P. assamicum. 

My another guess would be P. hydropiper, a polymorphic species, known to have many varieties. But before finalizing it, try to dissect the plant (If the specimen is available). Nut characteristic is also an important character in Persicaria.

Other members may add.

Regards,

Ritesh

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks a lot, Ritesh ji.

Thank you Ritesh Ji.

But don't you think leaf patterns are completely different?

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Ritesh Kumar Choudhary]

Yes, I also think so. Therefore, have not confirmed the ID. One needs to dissect it and then only we can make a comparison.

Regards,

Ritesh

​

[Saroj Kasaju]

After your first reply I went to the spot but unfortunately but the 

plant was not there due to road expansion !

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Saroj Kasaju]

Any possibility to ID without plant specimen

Ritesh Sir ?

Thank you.

Saroj Kasaju

[Saroj Kasaju]

Dear Ritesh sir,

I am afraid the flowering pattern and

leaf pattern/ shape looks different to

P. hydropiper.

Thank you.

I think it looks different as per

Also elevation given is 200 m; Tropical Himalaya (Punjab, Nepal).
