Polygonum species from Ooty Botanical garden ID Please Looks like Aconogonon molle. To me this is more like Persicaria wallichii.. It is Polygonum wallichii only because the inflorescence is short, leaves with 16-20 pairs of nerves. Perscaria wallichii Greuter & Burdet (= Polygonum polystachyum wall ex Meisn. )

It would be nice if you post pictures after resizing to a reasonable of around 200 Kb size (with min. 800 by 600 pixels) in future. Please reduce the size of images in future uploads…
These pics belong to Persicaria wallichii a cumbersome high altitude weed..       Persicaria wallichii ABSEP2016/05 : 2 posts by 2 authors. 6 images.
This beautiful aromatic plant brightened the hillsides above Triund. It was abundant at 3400m and seemed to climb even farther and I guess its tenacity in multiplying has earned it the name ‘weed’ which doesn’t reflect its beauty (similarly the other Persicaria species here which are beautiful, pink P. amplexicaulis is seen in the last but one photo sharing the grounds). Please correct me if I am making a mistake in identifying it.

Was seen in very large numbers covering large areas.
In FOI, it is named as Koenigia polystachya.
Kindly validate. yes, himalayan knotweed, a pesky weed in europe and America. not as bad as the japanese knotweed, but a lesson has to be learned
