Polygonum compactum, Hook. f. (Bot. Mag. t. 6476), is very 
near this. Indeed, with a long series of specimens we do not 
find any character by which they may be distinguished from 
each other, except perhaps the shape of the fruit. Dr. Henry's 
365 from the Patung district has distinctly crisped margins to 
the leaves, but is otherwise nearer P. cuspidatum.
