Yes, most likely P. microcephala. Some closely allied species should also be checked.

Regards,

Ritesh

Thanks Saroj Ji.

Probably some narrowly endemic species from India. I'll have to check with the literature.

Regards,

Ritesh

Hi, Ritesh ji,

Ciliate margins are interesting in the posted images.

Catalogue of life mentions Persicaria greuteriana Galasso with Polygonum wallichii Meisn. as a syn. with distribution in Himalayas.

Flora of China mentions Polygonum wallichii Meisner syn. Persicaria microcephala (D. Don) H. Gross var. wallichii (Meisner) H. Hara with leaf blade broadly cordate or ovate-cordate, 3-5 × 2-3.5 cm, abaxially sparsely strigose, adaxially subglabrous, base subcordate, margin entire, shortly ciliate, apex acuminate.

Pl. confirm it as Persicaria greuteriana as per images and details herein.

With regards,
J.M.Garg
