Thank you Gurucharan sir.

I guess Persicaria lapathifolia (L.) Gray is correct ID !

Looks very close to P. lapathifolia. However, P. lapathifolia will usually have large dark black/purple blotch on the adaxial part of the leaves. Therefore, I am skeptical.

Floral details and achenes should also be observed before confirming the species ID.

Best regards,

Ritesh

Thank you Ritesh ji,

Is that a mandatory characteristic?

From FoP: Stem simple or branched, often thickened at the nodes, usually with red dots, internodes usually shorter than the leaves

And the stem part underwater looks hollow.

Can we make out from these points?\

Dear Saroj Ji,

Most Polygonum species will have knotty stems, therefore, they are also called knotweeds. Other characters mentioned by you are common to many of its species. Therefore, it is difficult for me to confirm the species ID.

Regards,

Ritesh
