Similar plant uploaded at Flowers of India identified as Polygonum filicaule, but perhaps not correctly identified. P. filicaule is a very delicate plant with straw-like stems, very distant leaves smaller leaves.
http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw/specimen/specimen.php?taiid=234307 tai2.ntu.edu.tw/specimen… Could this be Polygonum recumbens ? I had also spotted the similar plant on the Road side on the way to Rohtang from Manali. I will post the same in seperate post to avoid mix up. From description of Flora Simlensis it seems to be P recumbens as suggested by … Yes … Polygonum recumbens is the closest choice though mine uploaded on FOI is a an ascending plant with longer stems and much more acute leaves than my above Chakrata plant. Let us see further. May be … can help. Sir I am sharing my pics and Description from Flora simlensis Yes! This looks like P. recumbens to me too. What about plant as FOI as P. ficicaule, as I mentioned earlier.? Polygonum filicaule Wall. ex Meisn. is now known as Koenigia nepalensis D. Don. K. nepalensis is a very delicate and different plant. I have collected this from Himachal Pradesh which I’ll upload tomorrow. Unfortunately, I am not able to open the Flowersofindia site here in Korea for the last few days. Therefore, not able to see the picture uploaded there.

Polygonum sp. photographed from Deovan herbal garden in Chakrata. Pl. help in ID. To me this looks like Polygonum recumbens only.. assuming that the ochrea is hyaline.
The closest ally would be P. cognatum which is characterized by having longer petioles not the case here.
Comments are welcome.

This one is long pending with me.. I am not sure about the genus even..
as this is without inflorescence, this is more difficult to decide for me..
With this, I close my postings this fortnight.. Most probably Polygonum recumbens.
