The sub-species, which here represents the VAR, nodosa of the 
Flora of British India^ might quite well be raised to specific rank as 
Polygonum nodosum Pers., a course which Forbes and Hemsley have 
taken in their Enumeration of Chinese plants. Judging from the 
Calcutta Herbarium specimens, the altitudinal range of the sub-species 
is strikingly different from the species proper, which would tend to 
support the view of their being specifically different.
