Bistorta vivipara (L.) Delarbre is a synonym of Persicaria vivipara (L.) Ronse Decr., rhizomes of Polygonum viviparum is a commercial crude drug.

Id is doubtful because the flower colour(White) and spike size varying (elongated).

[D.S Rawat]

Bulbils in the lower part of spike replacing normal flowers are not visible here. Bulbils are characteristic feature in absence of which difficult to determine it as P.viviparum. 

Please check true P.viviparum on the page B.vivipara in eFI.
