"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.
