Thank you Adittya and Ritesh for your replies. I find these quite difficult to identify. It seems to me that P. barbata var stagnina is a possibility: stems strigose hairy, leaves pubescent- hispid, peranth white or tinged with pink. It might not be var. barbata because the stems of my plant are not stout. In Hooker there is a description of Polygonum stagninum where he mentions stamens are 5 to 7.
