Dear Sir, The number of stamens in Polygonum is not limited to 5 only.
A/C to FBI, the number of stamens in: Polygonum Sect. Avicularia: 3-8 Polygonum sect. Persicaria: 4-8 Polygonum sect. Bistorta: 4-10 Polygonum sect. Cephalophilon: 6-8 Polygonum sect Echinocaulon: 5-8 So, I suppose this plant to be as Polygonum amplexicaule (syn: Bistorta amplexicaule). P. amplexicaule var. speciosum is very common in E. & W. Himalayas having dark pink perinath. Best regards, Ritesh. On Oct 12, 1:11 am, Gurcharan Singh <singh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have we heard of Polygonaceae with more than five stamens?.
