Plant for ID from Paddar valley J&K: 131111 SRANA 03:

Can this plant be Polygonum alpinum

Date: 1st August 2011

Location: Paddar valley district Kishtwar J&K.

Altitude: 2333 meters asl

Plant height: 1.5 meters

Habit/habitat: wild

I think yes

Polygonum alpinum All. is considered as an accpeted name by Tropicos & Flora of China, while GRIN (updated in 2009) considers it as a syn. of Aconogonon alpinum (All.) Schur.
Which one should we consider as correct.

In my opinion, Aconogonon alpinum (All.) Schur.

Thanks a lot, …

wild wild wild guess some Filipendula? German name “Mädesüß”
grows in shady places near water. Don’t know, if found in India high altitudes.

some Polygonaceae member for sure. Ancogonum?

I hope Persicaria wallichii (syn: Polygonum polystachyum)

I have lot of confusion in the family Polygonaceae particularly the genus Polygonum, Ancogonum, and Persicaria. If we refer to few contemporary flora of the Himalayan region there are lot of confusion.
Flora of Bhutan, Flora of China and our other Indian floras from the region, there are lot name changes, mereger etc. etc. Do we have any good and recent revision of the family?

Seeing the recent trend it is ideal to follow Polygonum, Persicaria, Bistorta, Aconogonon as distinct genera as done in eFlora of Pakistan. For names GRIN should be helpful.

I think this appears more closer to images and details at Koenigia alpina (All.) T.M.Schust. & Reveal rather than those at Koenigia polystachya (Wall. ex Meisn.) T. M. Schust. & Reveal
