This is really a great finding Prashant ji! Surely Knorringia sibirica but not sure if subsp. thomsonii really exists. I am also searching relevant literature on this plant.
The Plant List (TPL) mentions K. sibirica subsp. thomsonii as a synonym of Polygonum sibiricum var. thomosonii Meisn. But the molecular studies carried out on Polygonum s.l., the genus Knorringia did not group within the Polygonum/Persicaria clade, supporting a distinct status to this genus. Hopefully more studies would be carried out on this genus and in future TPL would consider upgrading their database. Thanks again!
