Respected all,

Apologies for posting with incorrect identity earlier.

This is actually Persicaria sinuata (Royle ex Bab.) H.Gross which is often confused with its very closely related Eastern Himalayan sister species P. runcinata please see attached post for differences.

Garg ji please also correct Polygonum runcinatum page name to Persicaria runcinata (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H.Gross which at present is its accepted name.

With best regards
