Persicaria posumbu is a species of flowering plant in the family Polygonaceae. [1] It was first described as Polygonum posumbu in 1825 and transferred to the genus Persicaria in 1919. [2] Plants of the World Online records it as having a discontinuous native distribution: the Assam region, Bangladesh and the eastern Himalayas to the west, and Japan, Korea, the Kuril Islands and Primorye to the east. [1]
There is some confusion over the relationship between Persicaria posumbu and Persicaria cespitosa. Some sources regard P. cespitosa as an independent species, [3] [4] others regard P. cespitosa as a synonym of P. posumbu. [5] [6]
