Thanks dear Pankaj for your thoughts. I too think the name *Polygonum plebejum* R.Br.must have been a mistake. While putting the query, I had that feeling. But good number of sites showed up this name. I was wondering there could be some story behind this error.
I did not expect epithets to have gained entries in English dictionaries; In fact, I have never found in any search results until now for any genera / epithets. I found *plebejum* is a proper epithet used in many other scientific names. Thus had become curious. Regards.
