GRIN page on Fagopyrum acutatum (Lehm.) Mansf. ex K. Hammer has been updated in 2011.

Thus issue has been examined by GRIN in 2011, but still they are not sure.

Nepali Name: वन फापर Van Phaapar/ फापर घाँस Phaapar Ghaas Good of you to draw our attention to the up-dated name of Fagopyrum acutatum to what I was still calling F.dibotrys just weeks ago regarding photos posted in Himachal Pradesh. Stewart (1972) knew the plant as F.cymosum. So one must wonder what name it will be by the time the next flora of the region is published!
The ‘Enumeration’ gives an altitudinal range of 1500-3400m. ‘Flora of Kathmandu Valley’ only had a record from Bagmati river bank @ 1250m.

Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn. ???? Thanks, … I think more close to Fagopyrum dibotrys as per images and details herein and as per keys in Flora of Pakistan. Initially I thought the same but I found seeding close to it. Anyway, ID validated after 7 years.
A flower for id ? : Attachments (1). 6 posts by 5 authors.
Flowers from Arunachal Pradesh for identification please? No idea about the ID but what a beauty. Beautiful stamens with pink anthers. Do you have more photographs of this specimen like the habit of the plant? Maybe that could help in identification. This looks like a Polygonaceae member, Fagopyrum sp. Please check this link on Flowers of India: http://www.flowersofindia.PerennialBuckwheat.html Thanks …,
I was trying hard to identify this plant as I found it very familiar. But due to absence of other details and size of flowers in the image I could not come to the conclusion.
I too now believe it’s Fagopyrum probably esculentum.
.., do you have any other photograph with leaves? Appears like Fagopyrum esculentum (Common Buckwheat) from the links:
(pictures & illustrations with some details), (an illustration), (a picture with some details), (a pics.), (details).

Polygonaceae undershrub : 6 posts by 4 authors. 2 images.
Polygonaceae undershrub, wild, ascending from Haripur way to Manali, Himachal
Seems to be Fagopyrum esculentum…
I am agreement that this is a Fagopyrum – Common Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is cultivated in the higher inner valleys of the Himalaya incl. Ladakh.
These images allow comparison with those of F.tartaricum photographed in Ladakh which is also cultivated there. Have not paid much attention to distinguishing between buckwheats before but what about F.dibotrys (which is not recorded for Ladakh)? It is similar to F.esculentum; the location seems to fit for F.dibotrys and it was described as growing wild – though no doubt F.esculentum and F.tartaricum naturalise? I have seen images on the internet of F.esculentum with white flowers incl. the Wikipedia entry but that does not guarantee the image has been correctly identified – and flower colour alone is seldom a reliable taxonomic character (surely a typically pink-flowered plant will have white forms). There has been confusion within previous posts about buckwheats. See Dr Singh’s comments about how to distinguish between the two.
In my comments about the images of what we think is F.tartaricum taken at Leh, I said there were good images of F.esculentum on Wikicommons but perhaps some of them are not of this species?
