Similar plant uploaded at Flowers of India identified as Polygonum filicaule, but perhaps not correctly identified. P. filicaule is a very delicate plant with straw-like stems, very distant leaves smaller leaves. http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw/specimen/specimen.php?taiid=234307

Could this be Polygonum recumbens ? I had also spotted the similar plant on the Road side on the way to Rohtang from Manali. I will post the same in seperate post to avoid mix up. From description of Flora Simlensis it seems to be P recumbens as suggested by ... Yes ... Polygonum recumbens is the closest choice though mine uploaded on FOI is a an ascending plant with longer stems and much more acute leaves than my above Chakrata plant. Let us see further. May be ... can help. http://www.flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Creeping%20Knotweed.html Sir I am sharing my pics and Description from Flora simlensis Yes! This looks like P. recumbens to me too. What about plant as FOI as P. ficicaule, as I mentioned earlier.? Polygonum filicaule Wall. ex Meisn. is now known as Koenigia nepalensis D. Don. K. nepalensis is a very delicate and different plant. I have collected this from Himachal Pradesh which I'll upload tomorrow. Unfortunately, I am not able to open the Flowersofindia site here in Korea for the last few days. Therefore, not able to see the picture uploaded there. Anyway, in my view, the plant uploaded by you and .... is definitely Polygonum recumbens Royle ex Bab.
