It is questionable whether P. confusum, Meisn. (syn. P. 
Bistorta, f. angustifolium), and P. paleaceum, Wall., as limited in 
the ‘Flora of British India,’ be exactly the same. It was an 
oversight, however, on the part of the author to state that 
Meisner had not taken up this species, or variety, for it is 
hardly distinguishable from P. Bistorta, Linn., to which he 
reduces it. .
