Dear Aparna ji and friends This thread is turning interesting I just found out that Persicaria auriculata (Meissn.) S. K. Dixit, Datt & G. P. Roy, 1991 is nom. illeg. being a later homonym of Persicaria auriculata (Meisn.) Massam, 1934. So it can't be used as name for the taxon. I could not find any record of Persicaria chinensis var ovalifolia or Polygonum chinense var ovalifolium from IK, APNI or GCI through IPNI, and am not sure about its validity.
