Hi, Ritesh ji,

May I request you to pl. confirm or otherwise.

[Ritesh Kumar Choudhary]

Yes! It looks like Persicaria sagittata (L.) H. Gross (Polygonaceae) to me.

Thanks for sharing the images.

Best regards,

Ritesh

Thanks a lot, Ritesh ji

[Saroj Kasaju]

Thank you !

Dear Ritesh Ji,

I feel this looks different from P. sagitata since the stem does not have downward spines.

It May be close to P. nepalensis like 

Persicaria sagittata (L.) H. Gross ??

[J.M. Garg]

Thanks, Saroj ji.

You appear to be right as it does not match with P. sagitata as per POWO specimen 1 and two and GBIF specimens from Nepal and India- one and two.

Appears close to P. nepalensis only as per GBIF specimens from Nepal- one and two
