This is what I found from Annotated Checklist of Flowering Plants of Nepal *Persicaria chinensis* var. *ovalifolia* (L.) H. Gross, ; Fl. E. Him. 71 (1966).
*Coccoloba* *crispata* Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb.<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242421473> *Polygonum* *auriculatum* Meisn.<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242339464> *Polygonum* *chinense* var. *ovalifolium* Meisn.<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242339495> So if at all our taxon is distinct accepted name should be Persicaria chinensis var. ovalifolia (L.)
