I am sure with Persicaria nepalensis (Meisn.) H. Gross

Ascending-erect, 20-30 (-50) cm high, glabrous - glandular hairy, annual herb. Stem simple or branched with striate internodes. Leaves 1.8-5 x 0.5-3 cm, lower ones often ± rhomboid with a rotundate base, upper ones petiolate, cordate to amplexicaul with a auricled base, petiole 1 cm long, slightly to moderately winged. Ochrea tubular-truncate, glabrous - glandular or hairy at base 4-5 mm long, brownish. Inflorescence terminal corymbose head, head 6-7 mm in diameter, substanded by an involucral leaf. Involucral leaf sessile, subamplexicaul, ovate to lanceolate, 6.5-12.5 x 2.5-5 mm. Ochreolae 4-5 x 2-3 mm, ovate, acute. Flowers 2.0-2.5 (-3) mm across shortly pedicellate. Tepals 4-5, obovate, obtuse, light pink-blue, 2.0-2.5 x 1.0-1.5 mm. Stamens 5-6, filaments short, fused at the base. Ovary biconvex or trigonous, with 2-3 unequal styles, styles united at base; stigma rounded or capitate. Nuts biconvex or trigonous, shining, 1.75-2.0 x 1.75-2.0 mm, black, enclosed within slightly accrescent ± papery perianth.

Dear Gurucharanji and Tanayji,

The inflorescence of Persicaria nepalensis is always included by an involucral leaf. Moreover, in P. chinensis, several capitula aggregate to form a panicle like str. Therefore, I still feel this plant to be as Persicaria chinensis. Pl refer to the illustrations in Flora of China 5 : 248 & 249.

waiting for some more opinions.

Regards,
Ritesh.

I think the same plant in fruiting stage with red fleshy perianth has been uploaded in another thread also. Perhaps lower and upprer leaves will clinch the issue, as commented there also.
