Welcome to this eFI group Prof Munshi Sir. It seems that I am the first person directly benefited by your expertise in* Polygonum* s.l. Thank you for indicating towards important characters of P.serrulata which is now known as P.decipiens (R.Br.) K.L.Wilson as per The Plant List 2013. If I am not wrong it is the same species once known as Persicaria salicifolia (Brouss. ex Willd.) Munshi & Javeid. I also consulted a century old (but still relevant) Flora of Upper Gangetic plains which differentiates P.barbatum and P.serrulatum aS- Lvs tapering to the acute base, marginal cilia of ochreae longer than tube................................Polygonum barbatum Lvs tapering to rounded or subcordate base, marginal cilia of ochreae not longer than tube........Polygonum serrulatum Accordingly my plant is P.serrulatum. eFlora Pakistan does not has this species and I wrongly concluded to P.barbata. I hope the ID is now fixed to *Persicaria decipiens *(R.Br.) K.L.Wilson (=Persicaria serrulata); Thanks to Prof. Munshi. DSRawat Pantnagar
