Sir, I change my proposal, for-
1. there is a similar pic in FoN that has been identified as *P. barbata* (L.) H. Hara. - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242100088 2. but the illustration at FoP shows different type of ochrea - http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=44863&flora_id=5 3. pics of *P. barbata* can also be seen at - http://www.natureloveyou.sg/Persicaria%20barbata/Main.html 4. in contrast to above, pic of *P. limbata* (Meisn.) Hara can be found at - http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/image-display.php?species_id=121830&image_id=2 and at http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=121830 Bengal Plants. ii. 884. informs - - limb of ochrea scabrid, ciliate, spreading or recurved F. B. I. v. 30. informs - - leaves 4-8 inch, shortly petioled lanceolate acuminate..... inflorescence and nut of *P. tomentosum*..... I think it is *Persicaria limbata* (Meisn.) Hara, NOT *P. barbata* (L.) H. Hara.
